Debbie McGee set for a SHOCK new career change after Strictly success?

THOSE looking to get limber with the lovely Debbie McGee may be in luck…

Although she was known to millions as the "lovely ", fans were left open-mouthed when they discovered just how flexible the 59-year-old could be.

The former magician's assistant, who impressed viewers with her high-kicks and splits alongside dance partner Giovanni Pernice, could be set to cash in on her Strictly notoriety.

When asked at the Strictly Come Dancing press day about whether she'll be following the well-trodden path of releasing a celebrity fitness DVD, she coyly replied: "There's lots of things bubbling and I haven't decided on anything yet, but after Christmas I'm gong to have a look at things with my agent.

"On Strictly, I wanted to make the most of every opportunity. It opens doors."

She then added: "I can't believe the reaction I've had from all age groups to talk about how inspiring I am. I get it every day.

"I've made them want to do more and got to the gym. It's been an incredible experience that I've inspired so many people and I wasn't expecting that.

And it looks as if may have already found her first customer, with Giovanni a big fan of Debbie's moves.

"I would be the first to buy," he teased.

"I knew Debbie had something special after she did a kick. I thought, 'Wow, this is going to be amazing, thank you so much. Do it again!'

"Everyone knew her as the lovely Debbie McGee but I have Flexi McGee. It brought tears to my eyes."

However, it wouldn't the first time Debbie has flirted with a career as a fitness guru.

An unearthed YouTube clip shows in an attempt to keep trim after late husband Paul Daniels bought her one for Christmas.

LIMBER: Debbie stretches before taking to the trampoline

The forgotten vid shows Debbie talking straight to the camera as she explained: "Everything I've read in the magazines and the newspapers says the trampoline is the best way to keep fit.

"I thought I'd start seeing how fit it would get me."

Debbie is then seen stretching her muscles in a series of warm-up exercises before she takes to the equipment, with a pair of white rabbits watching on in the background.

The quaint video ends with a caption reading: "If I survive, I'll be back soon with more exercises…on and off the trampoline."
