The wife of the late Paul Daniels wowed the judges and viewers last weekend as she performed a mesmerising Cha Cha with professional partner Giovanni Pernice.
One particular move which sent fans into a meltdown was when the 58-year-old perfected standing splits during Saturday’s show.
And now Debbie has admitted it wasn’t an easy move to pull off as she needed a lot of help from Giovanni, 27.
Appearing on spin off It Takes Two, host Zoe Ball praised the TV star for her incredible performance and gushed: “Proving yet again you are the bendiest lady in Britain.”

Debbie replied: "I did have a bit of help because he [Giovanni] was yanking me.

Giving advice to others who wish to be as flexible she joked: "Just get Giovanni to come and yank your leg up. He doesn't give you a choice."
This weekend, the dancing duo will be performing the Rumba to Baby Can I Hold You by Tracy Chapman.

However, the training appears to be taking its toll on Debbie as the pair approach their fifth live show.
Yesterday, the beauty struggled to get up from the floor in a Twitter video and declared she “felt terrible” after a gruelling day of rehearsals.
