Debbie McGee says Paul Daniels would have found another woman within a month if she had been the one who died.

The magician died three years ago at the age of 77.

Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant McGee, 60, told Good Morning Britain: “I’m finding my feet as who I am as a person.

“Lots of men, particularly, but there are women like it, really can’t be on their own. There’s a lot of guilt involved.”

“We used to joke about it, I’d say, ‘Who’s going to wash his shirts? He can’t cook’, and he always wanted people around him, fun and happiness.
