November 8th 2025.
Davina McCall, a beloved TV presenter, has made the brave announcement that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. This news comes just a year after she underwent emergency surgery to remove a brain tumour. In an Instagram post, Davina shared that she discovered a lump a few weeks ago and wanted to share her experience in hopes of helping others.
In a candid video, Davina explained, "I just wanted to tell you that I have had breast cancer. I found a lump a few weeks ago and it came and went, but then I was working on The Masked Singer and Lorraine Kelly's TV show had put signs on the back of all the doors saying to 'check your breasts' and every time I went for a wee, I did that." After a biopsy, she found out that it was indeed breast cancer and had it removed in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago. She also mentioned that she will be undergoing five days of radiotherapy in January as a precautionary measure.
Davina expressed her gratitude to the staff at the Royal Marsden Hospital, as well as her family, kids, and partner Michael Douglas for their support during this difficult time. She also urged others to prioritize their health and get checked regularly. "My message is, get checked if you're worried. Check yourself regularly. If you are due a mammogram, then get it done," she said.
Davina also shared that while she had a mammogram in August, she had been postponing having an ultrasound due to a busy schedule. She urged others not to make the same mistake and to prioritize their health. She ended her heartfelt video by thanking everyone for their love and support and sending them a "massive hug."
The news of Davina's diagnosis has garnered an outpouring of love and support from her fans and celebrity friends. In November last year, Davina was rushed to the hospital after a random health check discovered a 14mm benign tumour known as a colloid cyst, leading to her having to undergo a craniotomy. While hosting this year's Comic Relief in April, Davina tearfully shared her experience and reflected on what truly matters in life.
Reflecting on her health scare, Davina told Women's Health UK, "When I got this brain tumour I said to Michael, 'if I make it, this will be the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.' Because of the learnings, yes - and because of the places I've had to go to deal with it." She also shared that the experience has made her question everything and appreciate life even more.
We wish Davina all the best in her journey to recovery and urge everyone to prioritize their health and get checked regularly.
