She is known for her incredibly toned physique and dedicated health regime. 

However Davina McCall has insisted she is not an exercise addict as she revealed how many hours a week she really spends working out. 

The presenter, 57, who has recently been recovering after her major brain surgery in November, confessed that people always ask her partner Michael what it’s like dating someone who is an ‘exercise addict’.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Davina explained she only actually works out for half an hour four times a week as she said: ‘People are like, “What? Oh, we thought you were doing two hours, five days a week!” It’s because I post snippets of my half-hour workouts and everyone thinks I’m doing it all the time.’

Admitting she used to spend more time in the gym, Davina added: ‘I worked out for longer in my 30s because I didn’t realise I could get the same results while doing less. 

‘If you work out efficiently for half an hour, you’ll get as much as from a sloppy 45 minutes to an hour. I’m always time poor: three kids, work, meetings, there’s always stuff to do, and I don’t have an hour and a half or two hours to work out every day.’

Revealing her current workout regime, Davina explained she goes to her home gym after her morning coffee for a 30 minute workout two to three times a week. 

Focusing on strength training she uses her own health platform Davina Own Goals and follows one of the many workouts on there.

The star uses 0.5kg weighted gloves for arm exercises as well as 5kg or 6kg weights and will also wear a weighted vest for full body exercises like squats. 

She also likes to go out on a run once a week as she revealed she has been doing Couch to 5k to get her fitness back after her surgery. 

Mixing in some intervals, Davina will add in some minute-long sprints to her runs to help her cardiovascular system.

Last month Davina encouraged her followers to hit the gym as she showed off her  incredibly toned figure in a green pastel coloured crop top and blue leggings.

With her hands on her hips, she said: ‘Hey I just thought you might need some encourage to go to the gym so here it is – go to the gym.’ 

Alongside the clip, she penned: ‘Sorry . This is annoying isn’t it??? Did workout 3 of week 2 of strength and sculpt with @richcallender!!

Last November, Davina underwent surgery when her tumour was picked up at a private clinic after she was offered a health check after taking part in a talk about menopause.

And weeks after a 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. 

Davina underwent an operation to remove a colloid cyst in her brain four months ago and has taken her fans along her recovery journey with her 

‘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.’

On Monday Davina celebrated a huge milestone on The One Show as she made her first live TV appearance since undergoing an operation to remove a colloid cyst in her brain four months ago.

And Davina couldn’t hide her excitement about finally being back at work, being able to do the things she loves again. 

Davina said: ‘It feels amazing. I am so happy to be back. It was like the final piece of the jigsaw.’
