Davina McCall has opened up about the fresh fears she’s been facing months after surgery to remove a brain tumour.
Back in November, the TV star revealed she had to go in for brain surgery after doctors discovered a benign cyst that affects just three in a million people. The 57 year old’s tumour was found at a private clinic after she was offered a free health check for taking part in a menopause talk.
When she was in surgery, and in the days that followed, Davina’s partner Michael Douglas updated fans on her recovery, letting them know when she was out of intensive care.
Now, Davina has spoken about her recovery in a podcast chat…

Davina McCall opens up on brain tumour
Speaking on her Begin Again podcast, Davina was seen getting emotional as she opened up on her health journey in a candid sit-down interview with Steven Bartlett.
In the special episode, Davina was the one answering the questions, telling her story from her own perspective.
The short teaser clip announcing the episode showed Davina getting visibly emotional. She explained: “I felt like this thing had taken control of me. They said: ‘You have a benign cyst in your brain.’”
When Steven asked how she felt immediately after the operation, Davina admitted she didn’t “remember where I was”.
But her biggest worry was the fact her personality was changing. And she was afraid that she would lose a huge part of herself.
She said: “You realise that your personality is your short-term memory. I was like: ‘I’m still in here.’ I began again and again.”
