Theresa May has revealed that she’s backing Debbie McGee on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The Prime Minister admitted to being a keen fan of the BBC dancing show and was currently “cheering on” the 59-year-old contestant when she had a chance to watch.
"She's doing very well," the Prime Minister told reporters during a trip to the Middle East.
Asked if she thinks the former magician’s assistant will win, May added: "She's very good. Alexandra Burke is also very good, but one or two of the men seem to be quite dark horses too.”

May admitted she has not been watching the ITV show which features the 77-year-old former MEP, revealing she has had "one or two other things" on her mind.
