    Back in the day we all laughed when Mrs Merton asked Debbie what she saw in "millionaire" Paul Daniels.
    Since then have to come to realise what a loyal,devoted partner she was, a talent in her own right as a dancer and performer, and a genuinely decent person. Her appearance on Strictly was more than giving it a go - she was brilliant. How many people now say they have been the luckiest person? Love her positive attitude.

      Of course no one doing national service is getting sent to the front lines, but a lot of countries that do national service focus on military training. In the UK we already have the combined cadet force, which is a school age national youth program that teaches children military skills, like how to shoot a gun ect. My mother made me do it, and I hated it!

      Not a Debbie McGee fan at all but this story is genuine. I have a friend who danced in that Iranian ballet company and lived in the same block of flats at the same time as DMcG, and left Iran in a similar way.
      The Iranian National Ballet Company (Persian: سازمان باله ملی ایران) was Iran's only state ballet institution until the Islamic revolution of 1979 and also the most known and recognized of all dance companies in the Middle East.
