Davina McCall has revealed she was mistaken for fellow TV presenter Claudia Winkleman during a recent outing. The 58-year-old was stopped by two girls who asked for a photo, but one of them did not recognise her.
Speaking to Bella magazine, McCall explained that she was chatting with a doorman outside a hotel when the two girls approached. One girl asked for a picture, while her friend looked confused. The first girl then whispered to McCall, 'She doesn’t know who you are,' before adding, 'My mum loves The Traitors.'
McCall joked that she should attend the Comic Relief event dressed as Winkleman, who presents the BBC series The Traitors. She added that the mix-up 'happens to Claudia all the time as well' and that both presenters find it 'hilarious'.
This is not the first time the two have been confused. In 2024, Winkleman shared an Instagram story where a fan mistakenly thought they had met McCall. Winkleman saw the funny side, writing, 'I love you @davinamccall.'
McCall also discussed her upcoming role hosting Comic Relief: Funny For Money alongside Catherine Tate as 'Nan'. She admitted being 'mildly terrified' of Nan and joked she might need to revive her Big Brother catchphrase 'please do not swear' to keep her in line.
