STRICTLY’S Debbie McGee has shared the dramatic results of her non-surgical facelift saying “my skin looks like it did 20 years ago”.
The much-loved star, 67, who was married to the late magician Paul Daniels, is known for her timeless looks and flexible dance moves, but has gone for a procedure to freshen up her skin.

Debbie revealed that she has always snubbed ‘tweakments’ like Botox and fillers, admitting she was “scared” of them.
But after seeing the impressive results of friends Christine Hamilton, 76, and Shirley Ballas, 65, cosmetic procedures, she decided to try a non-surgical treatment.

For the past year, Debbie has been having a series of NeoGen nitrogen plasma treatments with aesthetic practitioner Jenny O’Neill at the Aspire Clinic, the same clinic that treated Christine.
The procedure works by stimulating the body into producing high levels of collagen and elastin, the key proteins that create youthful, radiant skin.

Speaking about the results, Debbie said: “I had a great big brown age spot. It wasn’t a mole.
“It was two, but they kind of covered this area of my cheek, and my father had exactly the same, and they’re unsightly.
“So I always had to cover it with make-up, and if I didn’t, people would say, ‘What’s that?’”
Continuing, the star said: “But what it actually did was more than get rid of this unsightly brown double mark that I had. I had lots of little freckles ’cause I was a sun worshipper when I was younger. They’ve all gone.

“So I used to look at people on TV and in photographs and think, ‘They’ve got such clear skin. Mine will never be like that because I’ve got all these tiny little brown freckles.’”
“But NeoGen has got rid of them all. So now I’m the proud owner of a face with clear skin at my grand old age.
“So it’s a wonderful treatment in so many more ways than I would’ve ever thought possible.”
Admitting the treatment had turned back the clock, Debbie said: “I’m 67, I’m not expecting my skin to be perfect, but I actually think it’s better now than it was when I was probably in my 40s because it’s so much smoother and I just love it.”
Meanwhile, Debbie maintains her timeless figure by doing a daily yoga or Pilates routine.
In 2017, the star also wowed on the Strictly dancefloor.
At the time she revealed she got her dancing skills from her mum, Lillian Howes, now 91.
Speaking to the Jattvibeday People, she explained: “My mum just dances fun. Her and my dad always used to dance at parties and weddings, they loved jiving.
“Since my dad died she goes out with her brother Toby on a Saturday night to a British Legion club that has a live band.”
Debbie has also attributed her stunning figure to plenty of gardening.
The widow and former assistant of magician Paul Daniels enrolled in dance school when she was seven.
At 16, Debbie landed a coveted spot at the Royal Ballet School where she trained as a professional dancer.
But her ballet career was cut short when she was 19, while touring with the Iranian National Ballet in Tehran.
She was forced to flee the country following the Islamic Revolution, grabbing the last flight out.
Back in the UK, with no work or money, she landed a job as Paul’s assistant for his summer season in Great Yarmouth.
In 1980, she appeared in the magician’s London stage show It’s Magic, which became the longest-running magic show in the West End.
After hitting it off, the theatrical duo got married in 1988.
She is most famous for appearing on BBC One’s The Paul Daniels Magic Show, which ran for 15 years.
