How Davina McCall, 57, has stuck to the same tried-and-tested hairstyle for three decades as she debuts a VERY bold new look on The Masked Singer

Davina McCall looked worlds away from her usual self as she debuted a new blonde hairdo on The Masked Singer on Saturday.

The presenter, 57, is not one to swap her signature dark locks very often, but bravely branched out during the ITV’s episode as she wore a blonde bobbed wig. 

Davina seems to be a huge fan of her long brunette tresses now, but back in the early 00’s she opted for a bobbed dark style with a sweeping side fringe. 

The TV star grew out her locks around 2010 and sported a block fringe for a few years before later ditching the fringe for a straight parting down the centre. 

Despite Davina keeping the same hairstyle for a decade, her new wig on The Masked Singer went down a hit with fans with several praising her for the bold new look.

They wrote: ‘You look fabulous @davinamccall and why I particularly love this is normalising wearing wigs.

‘So many of my clients I look after at Maggie’s centre whilst they are going through chemo and hair loss are scared of wearing wigs initially. 

‘Seeing celebs change up their appearance like this will give so many people more confidence. Great work as always’.

Another fan didn’t seem to realise that it was a wig, and begged the former Big Brother host to change it back.

They said: ‘No Davina what have you done  to your hair, bring it back bring it back bring it back.’ 

It comes after the presenter underwent brain surgery last year after revealing she had a ‘very rare’ colloid cyst that affects only three in a million people.

During her first public appearance since the operation, Davina broke down in tears as she took to the stage to give an emotional speech at the Brain Tumour Research Campaign. 

She attended the event at All Saints Church, Fulham to support her neurosurgeon Kevin O’Neill.

Tearing up in the speech she began: ‘I’m crying already, that didn’t go well’.

In the short clip she continued: ‘I know lots of you here are on your own brain tumour journey and many of you have lost loved ones to a brain tumour.

‘I lost my sister to a brain tumour in 2012 and my ex father in law a year ago.’   

Davina’s sister Caroline died age 50 in 2012 after she was diagnosed with lung cancer, bone cancer and was told by doctors that she had two tumors on her brain.

After the emotional evening, the star beamed in snaps as she was joined by her partner Michael Douglas and surgeon Kevin O’Neil who performed the procedure. 

Thanking Davina for her attendance at the event, Brain Tumour Research Campaign shared snaps from the event as they praised her ‘courage and grace’. 

They penned: ‘What a truly magical Christmas celebration evening! A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us in making this event so special.’

‘Our evening began with our incredible Chairman, Kevin O’Neill setting the tone with his warmth and pᴀssion. 

‘We were then moved by the inspiring words of the wonderful Davina McCall who shared her personal story with such courage and grace. 

‘Her message about the importance of funding for brain tumour research truly resonated with us all. Thank you, Davina, for being such a powerful voice for this cause.’

In December, Davina revealed she ‘lost a big chunk’ of her hair after undergoing brain tumour surgery, lamenting it would take ages to grow back 

After undergoing her brain tumour surgery, Davina revealed in December that having children caused her to lose a lot of her hair.

Showed off her scar for the first time as she said: ‘It’s all healed, it’s a bit crusty’ but mourned the loss of hair around it, saying ‘we lost a big chunk here’ and lamenting it would take ages to grow back.

But Michael ᴀssured his partner that hair grows around ’15cm a year’, and insisted that ‘by this time next year, you won’t notice’.

He then showed her longer locks and said: ‘People think you’ve got really thick hair but it’s actually quite thin’ as Davina turned around with mock outrage, to yell: ‘What!?’

She then admitted she hadn’t got much hair, but it was thick as Michael amended: ‘The strands are pretty thick, but you haven’t got loads of hair.’

The former Big Brother host explained she used to have lots of hair until falling pregnant with her three children, Holly, 23, Tilly, 21, and Chester, 18.

She sadly said: ‘I did have [thick hair]. But I had babies,’ before joking: ‘They took my hair! They put it on their own heads – they’ve all got lovely hair.’
