Davina McCall looks incredible giggling during yoga as she still 'grieves' for cheese

Davina McCall has shared her Saturday routine, and it doesn't involve a lie in and a fry up.

The gorgeous telly favourite took to Instagram to show off her yoga skills on a sun drenched deck, she captioned the snap:" Body weight conditioning with Adrien … love … was trying to look really pro … don’t know why I bother!"

Wearing a bandeau white bikini, Davina, 54, giggled as she tried to complete the workout on her back. Showing off her toned tum and legs the mum of two looked like she certainly knew what she was doing.

Fellow yoga buff Laura Whitmore commented: " I love Adrian! Got me through lockdown!"

But yoga isn't the only way Davina maintains her youthful figure.

Davina said: "Getting older is brilliant because you feel happier in your own skin. When you get to a certain age, the chances are you’ll have been doing a job for a long time and you’ll be really good at it.

"I’ve interviewed so many people now that I know I’m a safe pair of hands. By this age, we’ve all learnt so much – although there’s still lots to learn, too."

She added: "People say you shouldn’t be weight training in your seventies – rubbish! It’s great for osteoporosis. You know, you shouldn’t let anybody tell you what you should and shouldn’t do."

One great sacrifice Davina says she still 'continues to grieve for', is cheese.

"My half-sister and I lived together for a long time and I remember our favourite dinner would be a ‘picky plate’ of assorted meats, cheeses, French bread and tons of butter.

"Now I very rarely eat cheese, other than a sprinkling of parmesan on my pasta or at Christmas time – I definitely see it more as a treat now."

To stay in shape, Davina says she makes the time to exercise for 30 minutes a day, five times a week.

"Essentially, I look at my body like an engine and it constantly needs fine-tuning to be working at top capacity," she explained.

While she has launched an empire on the back of her own success, Davina has also told fans she believes that her enviable age-defying figure is also down to genetics.

"We all have different body types," she said in an interview with Hello magazine.

"My stomach hardly ever gets fat, but my bum and thighs turn to jelly if I don't work out for like, three days.

"Even after I had a baby, quite quickly I lost my tummy. But when I was pregnant, my redeeming feature disappeared overnight and I was left with an enormous bum and thighs," she explained.

She has also insisted that she doesn't follow a strict food plan and does binge eat occasionally.
