In 1978, British showbusiness star, Debbie McGee was a dancer with the Iranian National Ballet Company.
Debbie was living in the capital, Tehran, at the start of the Iranian revolution.
She tells Gill Kearsley the story of how she dealt with the unrest and escaped the country.
Debbie, who went on to marry British magician Paul Daniels, said: "I would never have met my late husband if that hadn't happened... so I've got the ayatollah to thank for that."
