Davina McCall was deeply touched during her appearance on live television tonight, as a fellow cancer patient asked her how she was doing, following her own battle with the disease. The 58-year-old presenter, who recently surprised everyone with her wedding to hairdresser Michael Douglas, was hosting the groundbreaking documentary Cancer Clinic Live as part of Stand Up To Cancer. The show was broadcast live from a one-off cancer clinic at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, as part of the fundraising event.
Cameras captured real patients and their families going through pivotal moments in their cancer journey, which hit close to home for Davina. Earlier this year, she underwent surgery to treat breast cancer and also lost her sister to lung cancer. As she spoke with patient Stuart, who was waiting for updates on his stage four bowel cancer diagnosis, he took a moment to ask Davina how she was doing. Despite facing his own struggles, Stuart showed incredible compassion towards Davina and his kind gesture brought her to tears. She thanked him and shared a hug, amazed that he could still think of others despite everything he was going through.
Davina opened the show by sharing her own experience with cancer, revealing that she had found a lump in her breast earlier this year. She was lucky enough to have it caught early and removed, but not everyone gets that chance. She also shared the heartbreaking story of her sister Caroline, who passed away from late-stage lung cancer just seven weeks after her diagnosis. Davina's own battle with cancer made her angry, especially since it came just a year after undergoing surgery for a brain tumor. She called it the "hardest" time of her life and was devastated to face another health battle.
Before the show, Davina spoke with co-presenter Adam Hills about her diagnosis and how she was doing now. She also shared her plans for treatment, including five days of radiotherapy in January to prevent the cancer from returning. The program is available to watch on Channel 4 and is a part of the Stand Up To Cancer campaign. Davina emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and urged others to check themselves regularly. She also shared her story to raise awareness and support for the cause.
