Davina McCall is supported by celebrity pals after cancer diagnosis

Davina McCall Receives Support After Cancer Diagnosis

The presenter, 58, shared on social media that she had a biopsy after discovering a lump. The cancer was removed through a lumpectomy just weeks ago.

Her fans and celebrity friends, including Amanda Holden and Penny Lancaster, sent her warm wishes.

Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Details

In November 2024, Davina revealed she was diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare benign brain tumour, and had surgery to remove it.

In her video announcing the diagnosis, she said her cancer was detected "very very early" but she would undergo five days of radiotherapy in January as an "insurance policy" to stay cancer-free.

She expressed gratitude to the doctors, nurses, her family, and fiancé Michael Douglas, admitting,

"I was very angry when I found out, but I let go of that and I feel in a much more positive place now."

Personal Message and Awareness

Davina captioned her video: "The message here, is know your boobs. Sending out huge love."

She first shared her diagnosis at her charity event, Dine With Davina, in Southampton.

She described how Lorraine Kelly had placed signs on bathroom doors reminding people to check their breasts. Davina said,

"Every time I went for a wee I did that. It was still there, and then one morning I saw myself in the mirror and thought ‘I’m going to get that looked at.'"
Summary

Davina McCall faced a rare brain tumour diagnosis but remains positive, emphasizing early detection and thanking those who supported her.
