Beloved TV legend Davina McCall has given fans another update about her brain tumour recovery journey, after her return to radio earlier this year.
Taking to Instagram, the Heart FM radio DJ appeared alongside her partner Michael Douglas, a celebrity hairdresser in a joint video post to share the news following her “final MRI”. See the video below…
In the clip, she said: “We thought we’d post a final brain operation update. So last week I had my final MRI and I was a bit nervous about it because I knew that if any of it was left then it would grow back and I’d just go through the whole thing again, which I was prepared to do. I kind of mentally prepared myself for that.”
A picture of her MRI scan was then shown on screen, which Davina pointed out was “clear”, adding: “I really want to say a massive thank you to everybody that looked after me so well”.
Davina’s tumour has been completely removed
The former Big Brother host expanded on the news in the caption, penning: “So here it is. Our final brain surgery update. Had the final MRI this week. @brain.surgeon.uk got everything out during surgery, it’s not coming back.”
She continued: “I am so so grateful, particularly because I know a lot of people have inoperable tumours and I know I’m lucky to be able to draw a line under this and move on with my life when so many people can’t.”
Concluding the post, Davina wrote: “And I’m just gonna say this one more time. Benign does not mean fine…”
Fans and friends filled the comments with messages of support
The comment section was flooded with messages from colleagues, friends and fans. Amanda Holden posted a flurry of heart-eye emojis, while Holly Willoughby commented: “This makes me so happy!!!!! Welldone my darling… huge relief for everyone”.
