Davina McCall has opened up about the 'awkward' period when she continued living with her ex-husband Matthew Robertson after their separation. The TV presenter, 53, was married to Matthew for 17 years before announcing their split in 2017. They share three children: Holly, 18, Tilly, 16, and Chester, 13.
Speaking to Good Housekeeping, McCall described a 'transitional phase' where she 'hadn't moved on' while sharing the same house. 'We'd still been living in our house together, which was awkward. I hadn't moved on and I was in this weird no-man's land,' she said. She eventually moved out and rented her own place, calling it 'the first step in a new phase'.
McCall, who is now dating stylist Michael Douglas, described getting divorced as 'an enormous deal' and urged people to support friends going through similar experiences. She also reflected on body image, admitting she was 'critical' of her body when younger but now embraces her imperfections. 'Now I have wrinkly skin on my tummy, I have a little varicose vein down one leg... but I think I look fierce!' she said.
The full interview appears in the July issue of Good Housekeeping, on sale now.
