Daniels posts McGee bikini pics online

Magician Paul Daniels has posted bikini pictures of his wife Debbie McGee online.

The TV entertainer put two snaps of McGee, 50, in a light blue swimsuit on his official website to counter claims that his wife was out of shape.

Daniels, 70, said that he was angry with the Daily Mail for invading his privacy with photos of the couple on holiday in Barbados.

"I really get p***ed off with the way that the [Daily Mail] invade privacy, especially when I am convinced they doctor photos to make their evil comments," he wrote. "I don't believe that was a straightforward photo of Debbie. Here are a couple I have taken in the last two days."

Boasting about her good looks, he joked: "She looks a lot better than Madonna... or is that just my opinion? Who cares."

He also responded to criticism of a picture in which he was wearing shorts, socks and shoes near the beach.

"The heavily criticised photo of me was not taken on the beach, nor anywhere near it," he said. "I was walking down a street in town. I don't think that bare feet would suit the location or be safe, and I don’t like sandals."
