The 59-year-old admitted to missing dance rehearsals with professional partner Giovanni Pernice, 27, leading up to the final show.
Debbie has failed to turn up to practice on two occasions despite having to dance a salsa, a brand new Showdance and a previous routine of her choice this weekend.
However, her absence is not down to laziness, in fact she has been poorly and was snowed in.
“I haven’t been very well, I had what everyone else has got, so we’ve had even less time," she said during an appearance on BBC Radio 2 this morning.

“I got snowed in on Sunday, so we missed that whole day then as well."
During the interview, Debbie and Giovanni confessed to making daring costume demands.
The former ballet dancer admitted to asking for her outfits to be shortened on more than one occasion.
“I’ve actually said take a hem off. I think that they have dressed me really well and Giovanni’s had a say in them as well because they relate to the dance we’re doing,” she said.

The duo have become known for their saucy performances and believable chemistry.
For weeks reports have speculated that the pair are dating, but they have both denied the rumours.
“I think I’m about a thousandth on his list of girls probably,” joked Debbie McGee.
The Strictly Come Dancing final will see Debbie compete against celebrities Joe McFadden, Gemma Atkinson and Alexandra Burke.
The Strictly Come Dancing final airs on Saturday at 6.45pm on BBC One.
