Davina McCall has revealed the unusual way she and partner Michael Douglas choose to comfort each other - often waiting until their tears have stopped falling before hugging.

The former Big Brother host had a benign tumour removed last year and has spoken about the 'enormous sympathy' she now has for those living with similar conditions.

Davina McCall has given her first official interview since her brain tumor diagnosis and surgery. The presenter, campaigner and former Women's Health cover star had a benign brain tumour called a colloid cyst, and underwent treatment in November.

Davina McCall has opened up about the steps she took before undergoing brain surgery in the event that she wouldn’t make it. The TV presenter, 57, went under the knife last autumn to remove a rare colloid cyst, a condition that doctors warned her could lead to her developing epiliepsy, suffering a stroke, or even sudden death.

When asked about when her and Michael spoke about death, Davina said "quickly", as the doctors had warned her about "stroke, epilepsy" and "nicking an artery or a blood vessel in the brain and having a bleed" being a risk during surgery.

Davina McCall was diagnosed with a brain tumour in November 2024 and had brain surgery shortly after to remove it. ()
