The former magician’s assistant got through to the final of Strictly Come Dancing last year with Giovanni, 27.
However, Debbie McGee has been since departed with the hunky Italian and has teamed up with another contestant.
The 59-year-old revealed she’s been filming an episode of BBC quiz show, Impossible, with Chizzy Akudolu.
Taking to Twitter, the 59-year-old said it’s been “so good” to be back with the Holby City actress.
She wrote in a post shared with her 40,000 followers: “So so good to be working with my so so funny Strictly pal @chizzyakudolu #bbc impossible.”
Earlier today, Debbie revealed she was back on set in another post.
“Here we are again on set for ‘Impossible’ Lots of fun already,” she said.
One of her fans was excited to see the finished product, saying: “Looking forward to see what you’re working on when it gets aired xx.”
Another commented: “Was at the audience for this today, was sooooo good! @thedebbiemcgee your darts answer was the highlight of the show!”
On quiz show Impossible, which is hosted by Rick Edwards, contestants must avoid giving impossible answers to give themselves a chance of winning £10,000.

Debbie recently reunited with Giovanni on a different quiz show earlier this year.
In a post uploaded by winner Joe McFadden to Instagram in March, the Holby City actor showed his fellow co-stars on the set of TV show Pointless.
Debbie and Giovanni looked extremely happy to be in each other’s company as they filmed the BBC One programme.
Strictly Come Dancing champion, Joe, revealed the special edition of Pointless will air in September.
Debbie has been extremely busy since the competition finished last year and recently made an appearance on the Late Late Show in Ireland.

On the programme, the age-defying beauty opened up about her marriage with her late husband Paul Daniels who died two years ago.
The star revealed Paul would regularly “defend her honour” when she was branded a “blonde bimbo” in the press.
When asked if Paul ever stepped in on her behalf, Debbie spilled: “[Yes] if they wrote things about me being a blonde bimbo, which I always laughed about.
“They hadn’t got to know me and I’m pretty bright if I do say so myself."
She continued: “Paul was the one that would get angry, I would say, ‘Oh it doesn’t matter what people say,’ but if they were saying something horrible amount me, particularly if they were saying I was a bimbo, he hated it yeah.”
