Back in the day we all laughed when Mrs Merton asked Debbie what she saw in "millionaire" Paul Daniels. Since then have to come to realise what a loyal,devoted partner she was, a talent in her own right as a dancer and performer, and a genuinely decent person. Her appearance on Strictly was more than giving it a go - she was brilliant. How many people now say they have been the luckiest person? Love her positive attitude.
@@pauldadson3812 She married a man less than 5ft nothing worth millions with the looks of "Precious" she wasn't conniving though was she ? Not at all it was legit.
She's such a lovely person!! I don't live in the UK so the first time I got to know of her, was watching Strictly, and I instantly liked her. I loved her dancing and her personality, and I cheered for her every single week. Thank you Nana- I'm sure you felt great knowing that she wanted to meet you just as much as you wanted to meet her. ❣
What an absolutely fascinating story and Debbie is such a lovely person. I always thought she was a bit of an air head but how wrong could I be. Brilliant interview
That was such a lovely interview , thank you to you both. I wish Debbie and yourself the very best of wishes for many happy days ahead , what an inspiring way to cope with grief, I will try and put it into practice!! ❤
I was going to audition for that company as well but then I didn't. I remember being in class in New York City and running into people in the class who had gotten out of Iran similarly.
Debbie McGee and Paul Daniels were an absolute powerhouse when it came to their performances. The connection they shared on stage was truly remarkable and captivating. Their partnership radiated an indescribable energy that left audiences in awe. It was as if they were perfectly attuned to each other's movements and thoughts, effortlessly synchronizing their every move. Their chemistry was so palpable, it could be felt in the very air of the theater, creating an enchanting atmosphere that was impossible to resist. Together, Debbie McGee and Paul Daniels formed an extraordinary duo that left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment.
There’s always one, dosent mean she isn’t nice and she was a child our perception can be very different. I bet there’s people who think you are not a nice person but I’m sure you and your family would disagree, so really what I’m asking is what’s your point?
Of course no one doing national service is getting sent to the front lines, but a lot of countries that do national service focus on military training. In the UK we already have the combined cadet force, which is a school age national youth program that teaches children military skills, like how to shoot a gun ect. My mother made me do it, and I hated it!
I love a good old love at first sight romance and coming from Great Yarmouth it made my day to hear that Debbie met the love of her life Paul there in a summer season show. Probably at Britannia ?
“You’ve done some incredible things like Strictly Come Dancing” says the Bloke in a red dress wearing a wig!!! WAKE UP. Debbie is a beautiful soul now leave her alone GB News!
It was great at one time. Women in mini skirts and every field of work open to women. The men and women mixed freely, listened to the same music we did, had fun.
Don't mind me I'm going to resort to mocking Marxists now with their own propaganda watch some old Soviet shows you'd be amazed how cynical the mockery can get
"Iranian Ballet company"? Sounds dodgy form the off. I have never seen an Iranian do ballet. I have always loved Debbie but to talk about your life how a movie got it right sounds sus to me
3rd millennium BCE iranian mithra was the first dance in history where they had to stand on their toes and reach to the altar with their arms and bodies, low iq troll, lol
Maybe you are too young to remember the freedom Iranian women had when the Shah was the ruler? Why is it that whenever the 'religious fanatics' take over a country the women are always the first to be relegated to 'man's property'????
Not a Debbie McGee fan at all but this story is genuine. I have a friend who danced in that Iranian ballet company and lived in the same block of flats at the same time as DMcG, and left Iran in a similar way. The Iranian National Ballet Company (Persian: سازمان باله ملی ایران) was Iran's only state ballet institution until the Islamic revolution of 1979 and also the most known and recognized of all dance companies in the Middle East.
Yes, there are life skills, the army teach those. Many other places teach similar but the army, alone, teach self defence along with those. The only difference between the army and civvies is civvies teach how to defend, the army teach how to attack while defending. That's the epitome of warfare. Read "Sun Tzu -The Art Of War". (Edit) There was no "hostage situation" based on the interview. Typical "clickbait". Just standard Iraqi policy, at that time.
I'm not sure why really but she and Phil were in the firing line by the gutter press a lot back in the day, The Sun & NOTW and other red tops wouldn't let go and must have caused a lot of problems for that family, thankfully she is past that and she is now one of the few people on TV that is a nice person, doesn't slag people off, and she could quite easily, she just gets on with being professional and entertaining people which is more than you can say for the editors of the red tops who slandered her family for years, I bet her and Phil had a great night the NOTW announced it was closing, I can imagine them sat on the settee together watching the 10 o'clock news and toasting the demise of The News Of The world,
