Earlier this year Debbie, 60, revealed her diagnosis with breast cancer. But thankfully her former Strictly dance partner Giovanni Pernice gave an update in March, telling HELLO!: "She came to watch my show on the West End last week and she is fine. She is now absolutely fine. I spoke to her and everything is under control." He added: "She goes to the doctor every single week. Everything is sorted and she is much better now."

Debbie confessed that her grief for late husband Paul may have triggered the cancer and that going through treatment without him had been extremely hard. She told the Sun: "Stress, I think caused mine. I've never been through the stress I've been through since I lost Paul. Grief hits you in so many ways you're not expecting."
