The 60-year-old star - who appeared on the BBC programme in 2017 - has gushed about the acclaimed dancer on the Telegraph's 'Talking Strictly' podcast.

Debbie said: "Is it just me or ... Darcey always looks beautiful but this year she is looking sensational.

"Hotter than ever and I think with her hair straight and shorter ... when it's straight she just looks incredible."

Debbie also revealed that in spite of her refined appearance, Darcey has a "cheeky" side to her personality.

She shared: "I mean she's lovely, she's got a really cheeky personality."

Earlier this month, meanwhile, Debbie revealed she is still sometimes so grief-stricken, she can't mention her late husband's name.

The stage performer admitted that although there are some days she struggles to think about magician Paul Daniels - who passed away aged 77 in 2016 - she is "grateful" to have had him in her life for so long.

She said: "When I'm having my really bad moments I just keep saying to myself, 'You can't bring them back.'

"You have to just feel lucky that you had that wonderful person in your life for that length of time.

"The one thing I'll say to you now is that the good days outweigh the bad days. There are days where I can't mention Paul's name and there are other days I can, I sometimes have to tell myself off.

"That's our survival mechanism. Your life is going to go on and you will be happy."
