Davina McCall has shared an update on her health after facing a benign brain tumour and breast cancer in recent years. The 58-year-old joined Jamie Theakston on Heart Radio Breakfast on Friday, where they discussed their respective health challenges.
McCall revealed that after brain surgery for a rare colloid cyst in late 2024, she experienced memory issues similar to Alzheimer's, which concerned her co-host at the time. She recalled messaging her agent and husband Michael Douglas asked hospital staff to take her phone away to prevent further messages.
In 2025, just as she was recovering from the brain tumour, McCall was diagnosed with breast cancer after discovering a lump herself, despite having a mammogram two months earlier. She urged women to check themselves regularly, stressing that a recent mammogram does not rule out new lumps.
Asked how she is now, McCall confirmed that a scan on Thursday showed 'nothing there', bringing positive news after a difficult period.
