TV star Davina McCall has revealed the surprising truth about her family life, admitting she rarely gets to spend quality time with her children due to her busy schedule.
The 56-year-old presenter, known for shows like Big Brother and Long Lost Family, spoke openly about the challenges of balancing work and motherhood during a recent interview.
The Reality of Celebrity Parenting
McCall, who shares three children with ex-husband Matthew Robertson, explained how her television commitments often keep her away from home. "It's not how people imagine celebrity life to be," she confessed. "There are weeks when I barely see my kids because of work commitments."
A Candid Confession
The popular TV personality didn't shy away from discussing the emotional toll this takes: "People assume we have all this free time because we're on TV, but the reality is completely different. I miss school events, sometimes I'm filming when they need me - it's heartbreaking."
McCall's honesty about the struggles of modern parenting has resonated with many working parents across the UK who face similar challenges balancing career and family life.
Making Every Moment Count
When she does get time with her children, McCall says she makes it count: "Those rare days when we're all together become so precious. We might just stay in watching films or cooking together, but those are the moments I treasure."
The star also shared that her children have grown to understand her work commitments, though she admits "the mum guilt never really goes away."
