00:02Ask each of them to throw a festive dinner party
00:07Then get them to score each other in secret
00:12Tonight as Strictly finalist Debbie hosts
00:16Merry Christmas
00:18Silver service
00:18I just wanted to take him home with me
00:22I felt like he was so cute
00:25And Debbie drops a bombshell
00:26Whether it's to or false I can't believe you just said that
00:29Debbie!
00:30It's true
00:37What? You did that?
00:39Oh no, convision it again
00:40As they battle to win £1,000 for charity
00:45This is Celebrity Christmas Come Dine With Me
00:47Looks like Giovanni nearly lost his watch that night
01:00It's that special time of year again
01:03A time for giving, receiving and inviting famous strangers round for dinner
01:09And the fourth host of the week is ballroom queen
01:12And the original magician's assistant Debbie McGee
01:15Ho ho ho!
01:17I think I'm raising the bar a little bit
01:19But just hope they have a great time because it's all about having a nice time
01:23Merry Christmas
01:24Merry Christmas
01:25Merry Christmas
01:26Sadly for Debs, it was all about buttock banter on the first night at drag star Courtney Hacksgaff
01:32Never have I ever followed through
01:34What?
01:35My boyfriend said that if I ever farted in front of him you'd have to break up with me
01:38Can I just say I think there's more interesting things to talk about
01:41Hear, hear
01:43And Debbie's demand for polite conversation didn't exactly come good at reality star Charlotte Dawson's bash either
01:50If I'm pooing out the glitter she'll probably still be checking in
01:54Debbie, stop him
01:55Sorry Deb, sorry
01:56Do you all think I'm mother superior?
02:00Well they may have all changed their minds after social media star Steve-O the madman's Caribbean night
02:06If you could kiss one celebrity who would it be?
02:10I'd never be satisfied with one
02:16I shocked them with a few little naughty things you know and I love that
02:23And the rest of the group were loving veg-hating Steve-O's food
02:26You've gone to town on the breadcrumbs haven't you? I like it
02:29I'm convinced the money is mine
02:32It could be yours well your charities because with 24 Steve-O's in joint first place along with Courtney
02:40But kids TV legends Dick and Dom reckon tonight's host could be a threat
02:45Debbie he has got this one now
02:47It's gonna be a dream
02:47Oh it's gonna be fabulous
02:51We see a little bit of Deb's naughty side but in her home she's gonna be on best behaviour
02:55Or it's like I'm home let's go woo
02:59Bra off all of that you know what I mean so um which are welcome there obviously
03:03I don't know what sort of parlour games we're gonna get tonight
03:06Maybe some strip poker maybe some spin the bottom bottle
03:09My night's going to be different because I've got more experience of dinner parties
03:13And although I do a lot of casual dinner parties this one is Christmas so I would go the whole
03:20hog
03:20And what better way to kick off than with
03:25Seasonal apple and mushroom soup
03:27Well that's a new one on me
03:28Charlotte's gonna go apple and mushroom but I think they all will go apple and mushroom because all my guests
03:33always have
03:34Mushroom soup
03:37What is the soup of the day?
03:39It's uh apple and mushroom
03:40What?
03:42It's different isn't it?
03:45Debbie starts her strange soup by slicing veg
03:50Chopping onions such a sad job
03:53I picture Debbie right now like a Doris Day film like there's probably like a bird on her fingers
04:00She like stirs a pot of sauce and she just cuts things
04:03It's like Mary Poppins things just like happen magically
04:06Well it's just onions frying in oil right now
04:08I think that they're expecting a little bit more from me
04:12And because I love playing jokes
04:14I was really tempted today to burn everything
04:20What are you like?
04:21And just do a really awful dinner
04:25Next she calls her apples
04:27No ships coming in today
04:30Aye aye captain, no hold on aye aye captain
04:33Yeah I see the day four delirium's kicked in then
04:36Seasonal apple though
04:38What's that?
04:39Like I just feel like people were adding things
04:43For the sake of it
04:45Apples and mushrooms in the pot
04:46Debbie splashes in sherry and stock
04:50I know it looks disgusting because it's a funny colour
04:53Sludge brown, happy Christmas
04:56But I promise you the taste is better than it looks
04:58Well that's a relief
05:00Santa tell me
05:01Main next, Santa's salmon and a sack full of vegetables
05:05Bad luck Steve-O
05:05And for the veggies, Christmas cauliflower
05:08What does Santa's salmon look like?
05:10I didn't even know Santa had a salmon
05:11Got a salmon with a big beard
05:13A big white beard
05:15This is my main course for tonight
05:18It's a whole salmon
05:19It's going to be cooked with sun-dried tomato paste
05:22Breadcrumbs, baby tomatoes and a bit of basil
05:25Next step, the veggies
05:27Santa's salmon and sack full of vegetables
05:30I'll just go for Santa's sack
05:31And the sack full of vegetables
05:35What have I got here?
05:36I have got a Steve-O nightmare
05:43Christmas cauliflower
05:45Oh my god, Debbie
05:47I'm just hoping tonight I can actually get him to try them
05:51I wouldn't hold your breath
05:53If I don't like Debbie's food
05:56I'll stick it down the toilet
05:57I will not waste it in front of her
05:59Well that's a bit drastic
06:00There is another way
06:02Meet the bunnies
06:03There's never any waste in my house when rabbits are around
06:06Oh my god, eh?
06:08They've both been pulled out of a hat when they were babies
06:11Oh, child stars, eh?
06:12One day you're in the hat, crowds calling your name, then...
06:16Oh, it's a cage and a bit of leftover veg
06:19That's showbiz, love
06:20I think I'll have to rename this one
06:22Steve-O not eating their greens
06:25Debbie preps the cauliflower
06:27And a ratatouille for the veggie dish
06:29The cauliflower is for the vegans, no?
06:32Yes, but...
06:33Oh, it's not even for me!
06:35Oh, sick!
06:36This is amazing!
06:39You could have told me that
06:40Don't get too excited, you're getting green beans instead
06:43Since a baby
06:45Next dessert
06:47Holly and Ivy pavlova with Jingle Bells jelly
06:49Magic!
06:52Is that what we had the other night?
06:54At...
06:55At Courtney's?
06:56Sure was!
06:57Debbie can't cook an Australian dessert
06:59I'm Australian, I cook that on Monday night
07:01Oh, Struth!
07:03Dare I say my pavlova could be magic?
07:05That's what we had the other day, right?
07:07The merange
07:08Merange thing, yeah?
07:09Meringue?
07:10Merange
07:11Have another go at it
07:12Merange
07:13Oh!
07:14It's meringue
07:16Meringue
07:17There we go
07:19Debbie whips up egg whites
07:21Think it suits me?
07:23Oh, easy!
07:25Next in...
07:26A secret ingredient
07:27You can guess what it is
07:29You normally put it on fish and chips
07:30It's vinegar!
07:31It's better than curry sauce, I suppose
07:34The pav is then cooked for 30 mins
07:37I'm going to put a downer on this menu so far
07:38Boo!
07:39It's not...
07:40It's not reading well
07:41It's not telling me that this is going to be nice
07:43Don't do this to Debbie
07:44Do you know what I mean?
07:44It will be nice
07:47It's pavlova time
07:48Roll me over
07:50In the clover
07:52You know the rest of that song
07:53If not, ask your mum and dad
07:55Actually, maybe just leave it
07:57Moving swiftly on to the vegan option
07:58Jingle Bells jelly
07:59Jingle Bells jelly
08:01Which is actually made of the ground up hooves
08:05Of Santa's reindeer
08:06Of course she's made jelly
08:08Hey, Jingle Bells jelly
08:10Are those dibs though?
08:11That's how they make gelatin
08:13Grind up horses feet
08:15Not today
08:16It's vegan jelly
08:17I've never used this before
08:19It smells really nice
08:22I've got a jelly belly
08:23Mine's Jingle Bells as well
08:27And that's the cooking complete
08:29It's time for me to go and lie down darling
08:33I'm looking at this menu
08:35And this is challenging me
08:37Dress code, black tie
08:40Oh, I love it
08:41I think if we've got any competition
08:44It's Debbie
08:45Yeah
08:45Christmas is a Christmas tell you
08:47First up in her finery
08:49It's Charlotte
08:49Hello
08:51Welcome, come here
08:52Welcome to Shea Debbie
08:54Oh, I feel like I'm in the Queen's house
08:56Oh dear
08:56Calm down Charlotte
08:58It's not like she's got a butler
09:00Oh, hello
09:00Good evening mum
09:02Oh, she's got a butler
09:02This is Grant
09:04So Debs, I wanted to look classy for you tonight
09:07Not trashy
09:08Oh, you look very classy
09:10But there's one thing about this dress
09:11I've not worn this dress for five years
09:13So I'm busting out the seams
09:14Right, it doesn't show
09:15And the split keeps splitting
09:17Oh, well
09:18Let's hope it holds for the rest of the night
09:21Proper classy Shazza
09:23Is that another knock at the door?
09:25Oh, somebody's here
09:26I think it is, right
09:26You go do the honours
09:27Ching ching, Grantie
09:29Ching ching
09:30How did it come to this, eh, Grantie?
09:33Next up, giving Courtney the night off
09:35Christmas
09:35Is Shane
09:36Hi
09:37Hi
09:37This is Grant
09:39Hi, Grant
09:40Oh, how are you?
09:40I've just been chewing his hair off
09:42Oh, have you?
09:42Yeah
09:44Another person at the door
09:45So give Grant my drink
09:47Oh, look at his hair
09:48He's got lovely hair
09:49You have to ask him questions
09:50Not touching
09:51I've been speaking to him
09:52But he's not been
09:52He's not been answering that, has he?
09:54I think it must be his job
09:56Yeah
09:56Not to speak back
09:57Like those guards at Buckingham Palace
10:00Yeah, that's what he's like
10:01Yeah
10:02Grantie, auntie, auntie
10:04Grantie, auntie
10:04Grantie, auntie
10:05Feeling your pain, Philip
10:06I just wanted to take him home with me
10:08I felt like he was so cute
10:09Geez, Charlotte
10:10He's up on Grant
10:11He's just trying to do his job
10:13Hey, hands off Debbie's baubles
10:15It's Dick and Duff
10:17Oh, hello
10:18Come in
10:19Debbie
10:20How are you?
10:21Hello
10:22Hello
10:23Hello
10:24Hello
10:24Hello
10:24Hello
10:27And last but not least
10:29And it's Santa Claus
10:31Wow
10:31Well, it's Steve-O
10:33Hey, hey
10:34You look really good
10:35Yeah
10:36Everyone's gone to so much trouble
10:38I'm just really appreciative of that
10:41Who is this?
10:42This is Grant
10:43He's our royal butler for the night
10:45Wow
10:45Lovely Grant is Prince Charles' former butler
10:49Oh my god
10:50God, I bet he's missing that gig tonight
10:52In my mind
10:53That's cheating happening again
10:55Because everybody else had to serve their own drinks
10:57Yep
10:58Grant did it all
10:58Yeah
10:59Cheating again
11:00Yeah
11:00Yeah, cheat
11:01Not you, Grantie
11:02Another cheater
11:03Yeah, devil's avocado
11:04She's a cheater
11:05There's two of us
11:06Oh yeah, that's a fair point
11:08I don't think we've got the right to pipe up and say
11:10There's two of you
11:11There's two of us
11:13True
11:13This night is called
11:15Debbie Does Downton
11:17Oh, what?
11:18I don't know
11:19I wonder what you were going to say
11:20The funny thing is
11:21Everyone knew who the other Debbie is
11:24Exactly
11:25Happy Christmas
11:26Debbie Does Downton
11:29Showing up
11:30Magical memories
11:31Your mum came to find me in the living room and said
11:33Come in here
11:34There's someone on the phone
11:35Is that him?
11:37Yeah
11:37He said
11:37My name is Paul Daniels
11:39It was lovely to chat about Paul
11:43And disgusting diners
11:44Thank you
11:46Oh
11:46Oh
11:47No
11:48She's lucky I didn't do it at the other end
11:55It's night four of our celebrity Christmas special
11:57And showbiz royalty Debbie McGee
11:59Is hoping to back a grand for charity
12:01With a sophisticated black-tire fair
12:04I'm going to go and prepare the starter
12:06And I'm going to take Rob with me
12:09Do you want to come with me, Grant?
12:09Come on
12:10Oh no, Grant
12:11Stay with me
12:12Stay with Shutter
12:13Get out while you're cutting, Grantie
12:15I've done the best I can with dinner
12:17I've done the best I can to have a lovely evening
12:20And you know, now it's in the lap of the gods
12:22Whilst Debbie improves the appearance of her apple and mushroom soup
12:27Yes, I'm not sure that's helped
12:28Shane, Charlotte and Dick admire her fancy footwork on Strictly
12:32Looks like Giovanni nearly lost his watch that night
12:35Look at those lines though
12:38She's amazing
12:39Look at that
12:40Just look at her happy face
12:41She's so happy
12:42She is
12:44Meanwhile, Dom has discovered some magic memorabilia
12:48This is the highest accolade that you can get from the magic circle
12:52What's the magic circle, no?
12:54What's the magic circle?
12:54It's one of the oldest organisations of magicians
12:56And actually hold that
12:58There you are
12:59And that's Paul's one
13:00For services to British magic
13:02When you walk into the house there's so much history
13:04I was a member of the magic circle but they threw me out
13:07Why?
13:08I know because I was a naughty wizard
13:09Is it?
13:10Yeah, yeah
13:10I've showed how to do a load of tricks on TV and they chucked me out
13:13Oh, you're that guy
13:14Yeah
13:14So you're like some naughty Harry Potter
13:16Yeah, I am
13:17Brough
13:17Bad boy
13:18They snapped my wand
13:19They snapped my wand
13:20Sounds painful
13:23Starter time
13:24Right, it's all ready to go
13:26So I'll leave you to it
13:28Here's Debbie's unique creation
13:29Seasonal apple and mushroom soup
13:32So this is my napkins
13:34So if you hold the corners
13:36Just pull her
13:38Oh my god, I got it right
13:40Oh, it's the simple things
13:42Shane, it is vegan cream
13:44So go and help yourselves everybody
13:46Thanks
13:49That's amazing
13:50Doubt Steve-O thinks so
13:52Wait, what's happening?
13:54It can't be true
13:57Can I just...
13:58Wow, well done
13:59Easy, don't lick the pattern off
14:00Hey, you've got it in your beard
14:01I've got it in your beard
14:03Hey, that's what you've got your napkin for
14:05Yes
14:06You were the one I was worried about with this soup
14:08I thought I would have liked it
14:10I surprised myself
14:11It was delicious
14:12Delicious
14:13Oh, it was a party in my mouth
14:15And I was invited
14:17Look at that
14:18Popping straight back on the shelf now lads
14:19Yeah
14:20Yeah
14:20Steve-O and Shane
14:22Licked their plates
14:24I haven't seen that since I was at school
14:26Debbie, obviously for me
14:27This is quite surreal
14:29It feels like for me
14:30There's one person missing
14:31With Paul not being here
14:33It feels very strange
14:34What would he have enjoyed tonight?
14:36He would have loved it
14:37Would he?
14:37He loved people
14:39But, you know
14:40He would have just been doing tricks all night
14:42And telling jokes and stories
14:44And whatever
14:45But you wrote to him, didn't you?
14:47I did, when I was about 15
14:48And I needed a bit of help with my act
14:50And I thought, well, who better than
14:51The best magician in the world?
14:53Paul
14:54So I wrote him a handwritten letter
14:55And then the phone went
14:57I can remember
14:57My mum came to find me in the living room
14:59And said, darling
15:01There's someone on the phone
15:02I said, who?
15:03He went
15:03He said, my name is Paul Daniels
15:06And I picked up the phone
15:07And I was like
15:08I couldn't believe
15:08I was shaking
15:09Speaking and he said
15:10So come over
15:11You know, come over to our house
15:12Yeah
15:14And we'll give you a magic lesson
15:15Do you remember Dom coming round?
15:16Yeah, I do
15:16Do you?
15:17It was certainly a moment
15:20I will never forget
15:21In my entire life
15:22How weird now as well
15:24Yeah, there we are
15:26Yes
15:27He was such a strong character
15:29If you met him
15:30He was such a strong
15:31And lovely character
15:32That for him to not be here
15:34It just feels like there's someone
15:35Someone missing at the table
15:36It was lovely to chat about Paul
15:39And I love just talking about him
15:41And it makes it like he's still here
15:43So Grant will make the plates disappear
15:45But I'm going to go
15:46And just finish off the mains
15:47The salmon goes into the oven for 30 minutes
15:50While Debbie heats her ratatouille
15:52And tops with roasted cauliflower
15:54Ooh, yeah
15:55So
15:56I'm hoping
15:57They're going to like my salmon
15:59Time to find out
16:01It's Santa's salmon
16:02With a cauliflower alternative for the veggies
16:04And
16:05Cue Grantie
16:06Grantie
16:07Oh
16:07That's a massive salmon
16:09Wow
16:10Debbie
16:12Uh
16:12Actually
16:13Yeah
16:14There we go
16:14Oh, look at that piece
16:16All for me and my belly
16:18Steve-o's having beans everyone
16:20What?
16:21Steve-o's on the vegetable
16:22He's on the greens
16:23He's on the greens
16:24He's on the greens
16:24He's on the greens
16:25It's a Christmas miracle
16:29Everyone was like
16:29Oh, Steve-o, you're not going to eat your greens
16:31Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
16:32And guess what?
16:33I ate my greens
16:34That salmon has got so much flavour
16:37Mmm!
16:39Everything was just perfect
16:40The way it was cooked
16:41For me, my vegetarian one was
16:43You did look good
16:44Bob on
16:45And it wasn't your grandma's cauliflower either
16:47It was lovely and crisp
16:48Have you ever had a bean before?
16:50Um, I've had baked beans
16:52Is it the same?
16:53Is it similar?
16:54Not quite, but anyway
16:55Steve-o's never eaten a bean
16:57Or cauliflower before
16:58Okay?
16:59Uh-oh
17:00Steve-o!
17:02Come on
17:03Debbie, sorry, but look
17:05It means you've enjoyed your friends
17:06Oh, mate
17:07So I will take it as that
17:08Thank you
17:09You've changed your tune
17:11Mate, you're giving me all these champers and bubbles
17:13What am I meant to do?
17:15So you're lucky I didn't do it at the other end, mate
17:17I've been really, really on good behaviour, mate
17:18I've done a couple of sneaky silent ones
17:20I think Shane might have smelt one at his nostrils
17:24Yep, I think he's just picking it up now
17:28Alright, Debbie
17:28How about a parlour game to raise the tone?
17:31I think now is the time to play a little game
17:34I will tell something that is true from my life
17:37Mm-hmm
17:37And something that isn't
17:39And you have to guess
17:42Which one is true?
17:43This is my first story
17:45Yes
17:46Is that
17:46I once had a boyfriend
17:49And he invited me to meet him in Paris
17:52And I stood him up
17:54And I went out with his brother in England
17:56Second tale is
17:58That one night Paul was out late working
18:02And so I laid on the bed naked
18:06Oh
18:06And on my mouth I put do not disturb
18:09Down here I put disturb
18:13Debbie!
18:14Oh!
18:15So which
18:16Whether it's true or false I can't believe you just said that
18:18Debbie!
18:19So which one is true?
18:22I know
18:23I don't think you would stand someone up for their bro
18:26No
18:28Over the last few days
18:29Especially last night
18:31To disturb
18:32Do not disturb
18:33That's a bit of you
18:34Great
18:35I agree
18:36Show of hands for story one
18:38Which was
18:39I stood my
18:40My boyfriend up in Paris
18:42Show of hands for
18:42The truth being story two

19:10We surrender
19:11We surrender
19:13We surrender
19:14Obviously it was option one
19:15Of course that's what happened
19:16The other
19:18Hilarious
19:18Silly story she made up
19:20You know about
19:21About having that
19:21Down there
19:22What?
19:24It's real?

19:40She is cheeky
19:42All week you know
19:44They really have thought
19:45That I'm sort of
19:45This innocent
19:46Very ladylike person
19:48But I think tonight
19:49I've shown them
19:50That I can be
19:51Just as naughty as them
19:52I think you made your point
19:54And she's not done yet
19:55Debbie's got another
19:57Surprise for her guests
19:58I have literally
20:00Flown a little surprise in
20:02From Italy
20:03And what's this?
20:04And hidden it somewhere
20:05In the garden
20:06Snow globe isn't it?
20:07But usually in a snow globe
20:09Something's happening isn't it?
20:09But there's nothing happening
20:10There's nothing
20:11There's nothing
20:12Hey!
20:14What?
20:18Well you don't see that every day
20:20Normally you just bring the mints out
20:22You know maybe a cup of coffee
20:24Look at those legs
20:25Woo!
20:28Them pins

22:39I knew it was a trick
22:40But it's like
22:41Truth in hell
22:42Oh
