This Morning's Holly Willoughby sends message of support to Davina McCall

Holly Willoughby sent a message of support to her friend and television presenter Davina McCall.

The 41-year-old presenter was full of praise for Davina's new documentary about menopause. Davina McCall: Sex, Myths and The Menopause saw Davina speak about her own menopause journey and the science that adds to our understanding and its impact on women’s health.

The film also highlighted personal stories of women from a variety of backgrounds who have lived through everything menopause has thrown at them.

Davina said: “I don’t think I’ve ever worked on a project that has affected me so deeply. I get home after filming and sometimes I just sit down and cry ... from deep frustration and anger at how we are failing women.

"This film isn’t just for menopausal women, it’s for their partners, their fathers, their brothers, and their sons. We’re all in this together. I used to think that menopause was an age thing and now I realise it’s a woman thing.

"For far too long, there’s been a shroud of embarrassment, shame and fear around this topic, and this is where it stops.”

Prior to the documentary airing, Holly shared a message to Davina on her Instagram story. She said: "Keep doing what you are doing @davinamccall you are just amazing....

"Such an important documentary."
