McGee: I slept just 2 hours a night after my Paul died

DEBBIE McGee has revealed she became an insomniac after her husband’s death and slept for only two hours a night.

The Strictly Come Dancing finalist, whose magician husband Paul Daniels died in 2016, said his loss ruined her sleeping patterns.

Despite being exhausted from dancing on the BBC show and doing regular TV work since, her ‘brain and body’ had been unable to slow down, she said.

The 59-year-old told ITV’s

Lorraine: ‘In the last two years since I lost Paul is that, when he was ill and then when he died, my sleep pattern changed.’ Miss McGee, a former ballerina, recently took part in a ten-day sleep programme devised by Dr Rangan Chatterjee. She said she felt ‘like a different person’ after making some ‘simple’ tweaks to her routine, and no longer took sleeping pills. Devoted: Miss McGee and Daniels
