Debbie McGee, a former star of Strictly Come Dancing, recently shared that she was interviewed as part of the BBC's investigation into the popular dance show. Debbie joined the 15th season of Strictly in 2017, just a year after her husband Paul Daniels passed away. She made it to the finale and was announced as the runner-up with her dance partner Giovanni Pernice, who has recently been in the spotlight due to a bullying scandal.
The investigation was prompted by Amanda Abbington, who quit the show after just five weeks, citing her experience with Giovanni as the cause of her post-traumatic stress disorder. She alleged that he was unnecessarily cruel and abusive, but Giovanni has denied these claims. In light of this, the BBC is interviewing all of his previous dance partners and other individuals who have worked with him.
Debbie, now 65, revealed in a candid interview with GB News that she has also been questioned by the BBC as part of the investigation. She expressed her hope that no one would be bullied and emphasized that everyone reacts differently to different situations. She also mentioned that she was not sure if she was allowed to reveal this information, but she confirmed that she has been asked to participate in the investigation.
The former Strictly star shared her love for the show and its uplifting nature, saying that there is nothing to make one sad while watching it. She also reflected on her own experience with Giovanni, stating that he was a great partner who helped her through a tough time after her husband's passing. She has fond memories of her time on the show and believes that the investigation will be thorough in order to make the right decision.
Debbie also opened up about how Strictly helped her heal after her husband's death. She had been in showbusiness before, but always as the magician's assistant. However, after her stint on Strictly, she became known as Debbie McGee in her own right. She credits her partner Giovanni for helping her rediscover herself and get back into showbusiness.
