Beloved TV presenter and proud mum Davina McCall – renowned for her fitness empire, for hosting huge shows like Big Brother and The Masked Singer, and her popular Begin Again podcast – believes the most profound lesson in parenthood isn’t about what you pass on to your children, but what they ultimately teach you.
“If ever somebody’s saying to me, I don’t know whether to have kids or not, one of the reasons why I would say have kids is not because of what you can pass on, it’s what they make you look at,” says the 57-year-old mum to Holly, 23, Tilly, 21, and Chester, 18. “Tilly, my middle one, has been the greatest at teaching me to stop micromanaging. She is like, ‘no Mum, let me try this – don’t tell me what to do. I know what to do, and if it’s a mistake, I’ll still be OK’.
