Debbie McGee brutally mocked by Jonathan Ross over distracting art in BBC News interview

A third said: “Think #DebbieMcGee is also embracing the trend as she’s got a portrait of herself peeking at the camera from the background #thismorning.”

It appeared to be a self-portrait of the former magician’s assistant, with Debbie explaining how she had managed to get into the prestigious magic society. 

She said: “It’s unbelievable, I’m the first lady who’s ever got into that position.”

Debbie continued: “I remember back then, Paul threatened to resign unless they allowed women in.

“So, you know, it’s been such an era and now to finish off with that is just fantastic.”
