MAGICIAN Paul Daniels has had a finger bitten by one of his stage rabbits, nearly two years after he accidentally sliced off the tip of a finger with a circular saw.
It is not known if the same digit was involved in the recent nibbling incident which happened before the start of a recent performance in Crewe.
The76-year-old was starring there on his Back By Popular Demand tour with wife, Debbie McGee, when his pet turned on him.
On Friday night he Tweeted: “On the way to Lyceum Theatre, Crewe. Slight delay due to tetanus jab and antibiotics for rabbit bite.” Followed by “It will be interesting to do magic with this Elastoplasted finger.”
On New Year’s Day 2012 the illusionist, who is originally from South Bank near Middlesbrough, was making props in his garden shed at his home in Berkshire when a piece of wood leapt up and his left hand went into the spinning blade.
Plastic surgeons saved his index finger but were unable to save the top of his ring finger.
