A VETERAN magician has warned "flirty tweeters... forget it" after he exchanged messages on the website with a 28-year-old ‘lesbian nude model’.

Paul Daniels, the 73-year-old Middlesbrough-born conjurer, who married Debbie McGee in 1988, asked his Twitter followers if he should be proud of the fact the woman was following him.

Writing on Twitter, he said: “Should I be proud of it? She is about 28 and a lesbian nude model so maybe not... I have had a lot of laughs and funny tweets but she...

“...but she must have taken them far more seriously than me. I thought summat was up weeks ago and politely ’lost’ her... Silly me!”

Daniels, who has appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap with McGee, describes himself on Twitter as an “international sex symbol and bodybuilder”.
