Davina McCall has announced she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, just over a year after undergoing emergency surgery to remove a brain tumour. The TV presenter, 58, shared the news on Instagram, saying she found a lump a few weeks ago.
McCall said she noticed the lump while working on The Masked Singer, where signs on the back of doors urged women to check their breasts. After a biopsy, she learned it was breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago, with clear margins and no spread to lymph nodes.
She will now have five days of radiotherapy in January as a precaution. McCall thanked staff at the Royal Marsden Hospital and her family, including partner Michael Douglas. She urged others to get regular check-ups and not delay mammograms or ultrasounds.
In November last year, McCall had a craniotomy to remove a 14mm benign colloid cyst from her brain, discovered during a routine health check. She described it as one of the hardest things she has been through.
