Davina McCall has bravely opened up about her recent battle with a benign tumor, revealing how it left her feeling “angry” and “out of control” following her diagnosis. The 57-year-old TV personality and health advocate shared her experience during a candid conversation on her podcast, Begin Again, hosted by Steven Bartlett.

McCall first revealed her diagnosis in November 2023, when she learned she had a colloid cyst following a routine health check-up related to her menopause advocacy. The tumor, which doctors described as rare and potentially life-threatening, was surgically removed, but not before McCall underwent a stint in intensive care. She was supported throughout her recovery by her partner, celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas, reported by the Daily Record.
