Davina McCall breaks down recalling half sister's death as she discusses taking drugs with mum at just 12

Davina McCall has been seen breaking down in tears as she talked about the death of her half sister and recalled her home life as a kid which saw her taking drugs with her mum aged 12. The former Big Brother host has sat down for a candid chat with Steven Bartlett's on his The Diary Of A CEO podcast.

As she spoke to the buisnessman and Dragons' Den star, Davina emotionally discussed the final days of her sibling Caroline's life saying: "It was the worst thing that's ever happened to me."

Caroline died age 50 in 2012 after she was diagnosed with lung cancer, bone cancer and was told by doctors that she had two tumors on her brain. She was given the terrible diagnosis after Davina found her paralysed on the floor one morning after a period of ill health and rushed her to hospital.
