Watch: Magician Paul Daniels reveals why he and wife Debbie couldn’t appear on Celebrity Big Brother

Much-loved magician Paul Daniels has revealed that he and wife Debbie McGee were considered for Celebrity Big Brother but had to decline the invite.

The decision to not go on the Channel 5 show was due to family reasons says Paul on his YouTube channel explaining that both the couple’s nephew and Debbie’s father are ill.

The South Bank-raised magic man said: “After much misinformation I’m setting the record straight.

“The Big Brother team are very nice people.

“They came around and discussed the possibility of Debbie and I being the first couple to go into the Big Brother house.”

Paul, 76, says that the main motivator for the couple to go onto the show would have been cash.

He said: “A job is a job is a job.

“To be fair, Big Brother offered a lot of money.”
