Davina McCall has shared an emotional health update with her fans after undergoing surgery to remove a benign brain tumour.
The TV presenter took to Instagram to reassure her followers that she’s doing well, thanking those who have reached out as well as her partner Michael Douglas and her step-mum Gaby.
“I am feeling much better. Had a great night’s sleep in my own bed,” The Masked Singer judge wrote in the caption.
“Have a couple of sleeps during the day which keeps my brain clear… huge gratitude and love for the world and my life and the beautiful people in it.”

In the clip, McCall got teary-eyed when talking about her diagnosis, sharing that she feels “very lucky” and “grateful” to be coming through the surgery and for the support she has received.
“I feel really good. I just feel very lucky and I’m on the mend,” she added.
The former Big Brother host also revealed her short-term memory has been affected, saying: “My short-term memory is a bit remiss. But that is something I can work on, so I’m really happy about that. I’m writing everything down to keep myself feeling safe.”
Fans and fellow celebrities showered McCall with messages of support, including Zoe Ball, who wrote: “Wonderful to see you doing so good D. Healing vibes across the way.”
Loose Women panelist Ruth Langsford commented: “Good to see your lovely face. Rest up and let those lovely people take care of you,” while This Morning‘s Alison Hammond shared: “Get better soon superstar.”
Rylan Clark and Line of Duty star Vicky McClure posted some heart emojis for McCall, while former Love Island host Laura Whitmore wrote: “Sending all the love you magnificent woman.”

Earlier this month, McCall shared the unexpected way she found out about her brain tumour.
“A few months ago, I did a menopause talk for a company and they offered me a health scan in return, which I thought I was going to ace,” McCall said on Instagram. “But it turned out I had a benign brain tumour called a colloid cyst which is very rare – three in one million.”
She then explained she consulted some neurosurgeons who advised her to have the tumour removed, hence her recent surgery.
