Davina McCall, 57, shares major health update with fans just weeks after receiving all clear from brain tumour

Davina McCall has issued a major health update just months after having surgery on her brain – and receiving the all clear.

The legendary TV presenter, 57, went live on Instagram on Thursday night with her hairdresser husband Michael Douglas – who lovingly styled her hair for their ‘rave date night’ in London.

During the Instagram Live, Davina – who was diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour in November and underwent a six-hour operation – shared a huge update on her post-surgery journey.

She explained to fans: ‘I am feeling much, much, much better. I am nearly ready to drive, which is a big indicator of how I’m feeling.’

Davina shared how she’s waiting for an update from the doctors and DVLA before she can get in the driver’s seat again.

The TV star was all smiles as Michael blow-dried her hair, with Davina giving him compliments throughout the video.

The loved-up couple – who have been together since – were asked how long they’ve known each other for.

‘We have known each other since 2000,’ Davina said.

Michael chipped in: ‘I did Davina’s hair for a hair commercial. She took my number,’ as Davina added: ‘Yeah I did.’

Her husband continued: ‘And we became friends.’

She went on to say that they reconnected when she started to host Big Brother, with Michael often doing her hair for the show.

Michael said they were heading to Ibiza this weekend on a romantic getaway, which the pair seemed excited for. 

Last month, discussing her recent health battle, Davina explained to Women’s Health: ‘When I got this brain tumour I said to [my partner] Michael, “If I make it, this will be the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.”‘

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.’

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.’
