'Brace yourselves, I'm back!': Davina McCall pokes fun at her VERY racy BRIT Awards outfit

Davina McCall stole the spotlight as she flashed her jaw-dropping figure in a racy sheer gown on the BRIT Awards red carpet on Saturday.

Speaking to MailOnline at the star-studded event, the TV personality, 57, gave a health update and poked fun at her risqué ensemble.

Lifting the lid on what inspired her daring look, Davina joked: ‘I just thought, how disgraceful can I look? I’m growing old disgracefully.

‘I thought what should I do? And I thought go see-through.’

Giving an update on her health after having a brain tumour removed in November, the TV star was glowing as she added: ‘I’m feeling amazing. Brace yourselves, I’m back.’ 

She made sure all eyes were on her as she arrived at the glitzy event in the sizzling ensemble.

Her see-through dress left little to the imagination as she flashed her black lacy underwear and toned physique.

Davina added inches to her height with a pair of black stilettos and toted around her belongings in a matching clutch bag.

The Masked Singer judge wore her brunette tresses in loose waves and opted for a glamorous palette of makeup to elevate her nautral beauty. 

She seemed to be in incredibly high spirits as she put on an animated display on the red carpet before cosying up to her partner Michael Douglas, who looked dapper in a smart black suit.

The pair struggled to keep their hands off each other as Davina sweetly wrapped her arm around her hairdresser beau and planted a kiss on his forehead. 

Davina was forced to have surgery in November after doctors discovered a benign cyst on her brain that affects three in a million people.

The tumour was picked up at a private clinic after she was offered a health check after taking part in a talk about menopause.

Weeks after her successful operation to remove the growth, Davina revealed her survival felt like a ‘gift’ while she reflected on the success of her new Begin Again podcast.

Taking to Instagram at the end of December, the TV star recorded a video as she thanked fans for their support over her latest project, while also looking back on her own health journey as she admitted she feels like she’s ‘begun again’.

She explained: ‘Thanks for joining me on my Begin Again podcast. I’ve loved recording this podcast, and I’ve loved meeting everybody.

‘What I’ve enjoyed about recording this podcast is, it’s so so broad. Begin Again can mean anything, it can mean something similar to what I’ve just been through, which is having a life-threatening tumour and it being removed.

‘I feel like I’ve begun again, I mean in the weirdest sense, I guess because I’ve had a positive outcome. It’s like being given a second chance at life. It feels amazing, almost as if I’ve been given a gift.’

The BRIT Awards ceremony is hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, marking his fifth time at the helm of the event, after having previously presented the show in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The star-studded event will take place once again at London’s O2 Arena with the trophy this year designed by the talented Gabriel Moses.

The night will feature mᴀssive performances from Ezra Collective and special guest Jorja Smith.

They have joined an exciting lineup of already announced acts including Jade Thirlwall, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Fender, Lola Young, Teddy Swims, and The Last Dinner Party.

Charli XCX will no longer be performing at the ceremony despite months of negotiations.

According to a close source, the decision comes as she shifted her focus toward preparing for the Grammy Awards, which took place earlier this month.

The pop singer leads the 2025 BRIT Awards nominations with five nods, closely followed by Dua Lipa who has been recognised in four categories.

It was recently announced that Charli will receive the coveted Songwriter Of The Year prize.

The star, 32, made history when her No1 album Brat became a cultural phenomenon last summer along with the colour slime green as millions of fans showed their support by posting clips of Charli’s Apple Dance on TikTok.

And now her Brat summer lives on as Charli has received nominations in five prestigious categories including Song Of The Year for Guess ft. Billie Eilish, Artist Of The Year, Dance Act, Pop Act, and the sought-after Album Of The Year.

Dua, 29, who is already the recipient of seven BRITs, has been awarded another four nods as she goes head-to-head against Charli for Song Of The Year with hit Training Season, Artist Of The Year, Pop Act, and Album Of The Year with Radical Optimism.

US superstar Taylor Swift, 35, will battle it out with Billie Eilish in the International Artist Of The Year category, which also features Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan, as well as for the International Song Of The Year accolade.

The winners of five genre awards – Alternative/Rock Act, Dance Act, Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act, Pop Act, R&B Act – will be determined by a public vote exclusively through WhatsApp for the first time ever.

Jade Thirlwall has been nominated for the first time as a solo artist after previously winning three awards with the group Little Mix.

The singer, 32, has earned recognition in the Pop Act and Song Of The Year categories, revealing it was when she wrote the hit Angel Of My Dreams that she finally established her individual sound.

Speaking as the nominations were announced, she said: ‘Obviously as a band we were nominated a few times and that’s amazing but when it’s for your own music and my own personal experiences, it does hit different, it feels extra special.

‘When I first started this solo journey, I was writing a lot of music to exist outside of the group and figure out who I am on my own but the minute I wrote Angel Of My Dreams, that was when I knew I had arrived and this is my sound, this is me.’

The jazz quintet Ezra Collective, who won the Mercury prize in 2023, landed four nominations for Best New Artist, Group Of The Year, Alternative Rock Act and Album Of The Year for their body of work Dance, No One’s Watching.

Their biggest compeтιтion comes from The Last Dinner Party who are also up for Best New Artist, Group Of The Year, Alternative Rock Act and Album Of The Year.

Thanks to globally successful artists Central Cee, Stormzy, and Dave, British rap is also well represented at this year’s BRIT Awards.

Central Cee has earned nods in the Song Of The Year category as well as Artist Of The Year, and Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act, while Stormzy has been nominated for the latter.
