She continued: ‘Because of the learnings, yes – and because of the places I’ve had to go to deal with it…I’m sort of going through a slightly mind-blowing phase of my life where I’m just asking questions about everything. 

‘I keep thinking: I’ve survived this thing, but I don’t know how that happened or why it happened.

‘The whole start back into life again after the operation was amazing – mega. And [in the midst of] that feeling of anxiety and insтιтutionalisation – of your house being the only safe place, of forgetting how to function in a normal way – everything felt like a mᴀssive win.’

Last month Davina appeared in a video with her partner Michael Douglas, where she gave a health update after undergoing an MRI scan.

The TV personality also shared unseen before and after snaps from her scan revealing that the tumour has completely disappeared from her brain. 

Accompanying the video, Davina wrote: ‘So here it is. Our final brain surgery update. Had the final MRI this week. @brain.surgeon.uk got everything out during surgery, it’s not coming back. 

‘Thanks so so much to everyone at @onewelbeck and @clevelandclinic . To my mum and @mdlondon for taking such good care of me . To Sarah for being my BFF to my amazing kids. To @brain.surgeon.uk for being the GOAT. 

‘I am so so grateful particularly because I know a lot of people have inoperable tumours and and I know I’m lucky to be able to draw a line under this and move on with my life when so many people can’t. And I’m just gonna say this one more time. Benign does not mean fine.’

She told how she had her final MRI last week and admitted that she was nervous’ as if any of the tumour was left that it would grow back and she’d have to ‘go through the whole thing again’.

She noted that she’d ‘mentally prepared herself’ for that scenario, while Michael added that he too was nervous as it had been ‘a huge journey’. 

Laughing with joy and relief, Davina then added: ‘but it was clear!’ 

The pair then held up two scan pictures, the first showing the tumour in her brain and the second showing that it had completely gone post-surgery.

Davina went on: ‘I want to say a mᴀssive thank you to everybody that looked after me so well. A special heartfelt thank you from both of us to Kevin for being such an absolute legend.’

The couple also thanked the supportive fans and also their own families and friends, with Davina concluding by blowing a kiss to the camera.
