Davina McCall shares breast cancer diagnosis
Davina said: “Hello. I’m talking about this because I think it might help someone and this is what I always do.
“I just wanted to tell you that I have had breast cancer.
“I found a lump a few weeks ago and it came and went. But then, I was working on The Masked Singer and Lorraine Kelly had put signs on the back of all the doors saying check your breasts, so every time I went for a wee I did that, and it was still there.
“Then one morning I saw it in the mirror and thought, I’m going to get that looked at. I had a biopsy. I found out it was indeed breast cancer and I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago. And the margins, they take out a little bit extra, the margins are clear. It was very, very small so I got it very, very early, which is incredibly lucky.”
Treatment plan shared
Davina continued, revealing she’ll now undergo radiotherapy.
“I am so relieved to have had it removed and to know that it hasn’t spread. My lymph nodes are clear, I didn’t have any removed, and all I’m going to do now is have five days of radiotherapy in January as kind of an insurance policy. And then I am on my journey to try and stop it ever coming back.”
‘I was very angry’
She then gave her thanks to everyone at the Royal Marsden Hospital. Davina also thanked her family, “her brilliant kids and an extra special thanks to Michael”, her fiancé.
Davina then said: “It’s been a lot. I was very angry when I found out. But I let go of that and I feel in a much more positive place now.
“I think my message is, get checked if you are worried. Check yourself regularly. If you are due a mammogram, then get it done. I have dense breasts and I had a mammogram in August and I was postponing the ultrasound, I didn’t have time to do it. Don’t do that, get the ultrasound. And thanks for watching and I’m sending you all a massive hug.”

TV presenter Davina was inundated with support after sharing her diagnosis.
Amanda Holden said: “Sending you so much love.” Leigh Francis posted: “Sending you magical powers.” Chloe Madeley said: “You’re amazing. Sending you so much love and a massive massive hug.”
Julia Bradbury, who has also had breast cancer, posted: “Sending the biggest hugs.” Alesha Dixon posted: “Awww my love! You are such a brave warrior love you so much.” Lisa Faulkner shared: “Sending you a massive massive hug darling.” Gabby Logan added: “Sending you loads of love.”
