Debbie McGee reveals fears after shocking Strictly weight loss 'I'm not comfortable'
STRICTLY COME DANCING finalist Debbie McGee has opened up about her concerns after her dramatic weight loss on the show.
The 59-year-old former magician’s assistant admitted that the gruelling schedule of training and extreme physicality of taking part in the BBC dance competition has caused her to lose “too much” weight.
Debbie McGee revealed that she’s looking forward to the show’s conclusion tonight because the pressure is “all-consuming”.
“I also feel that I’ve lost too much weight as my clothes are hanging off me,” she said, writing in her weekly column for The Telegraph.

She also confessed that the weight loss has left her worried, confessing: “I’m not comfortable with it.
“I’m looking forward to indulging, although Christmas Day is really the only one I have for a rest,” the Strictly Come Dancing favourite continued. “After tonight’s final, I’m on stage in panto from Sunday afternoon.”
Meanwhile, she has been battling illness this week which has forced her to forgo several crucial training sessions with her professional partner Giovanni Pernice, 27.
Yesterday, Debbie hit back at rumours she could drop out just hours before the Strictly final, with her representative telling Express.co.uk: “Debbie has been under the weather this week but it will not affect her appearing in the final this weekend.”

In her column, the platinum-haired beauty admitted that her health struggle this week “couldn’t have come at a worse time”.
“I’ve had to pull out of training for most of the week,” she said. “I can’t remember ever feeling this ill.
“I’ve been sick and dizzy and have an awful cough, so I haven’t been able to do much dancing at all.”
Strictly Come Dancing continues tonight at 6.30pm on BBC One.
