As a long-time fan and admirer of Davina McCall’s resilience and tenacity, hearing about her brave battle against a rare brain tumor has left me both saddened and inspired. Having followed her career for years, I’ve come to appreciate not only her talent as a presenter but also her strength as a woman.
Davina McCall has revealed that she is having surgery to remove a rare brain tumour.
As an ardent film enthusiast, I was taken aback when the captivating host of shows like Long Lost Family, My Mum, Your Dad, and the once-commanding figure behind Big Brother, shared some personal news via an Instagram video. She confided in us that she’s been diagnosed with a colloid cyst – a non-malignant growth that can expand gradually.
In the video, McCall mentioned that a few months back, she delivered a talk on menopause for a company and they provided her with a health assessment as part of the deal, which she believed she would excel at. However, it was discovered that she had a benign brain tumor known as a colloid cyst, an occurrence that is extremely rare – approximately three cases in a million people.
After briefly avoiding the issue, I consulted multiple neurosurgeons. They all offered differing views, but it became clear that a significant growth in my head needed attention. This growth occupies quite a bit of space, measuring approximately 14mm wide, and if left untreated, could lead to complications. Therefore, I’ve decided to undergo a craniotomy for its removal.
She stated: “I don’t want you to frett about me. I can manage that myself. However, I’m not overly concerned and I’m in a positive frame of mind. I trust my surgeon and his colleagues wholeheartedly, and I am entrusting them with the responsibility. They are skilled professionals, and I will focus on recovering afterwards. I’ll catch up with you on the other side.

The video, co-starring McCall’s spouse Michael Douglas, was uploaded together with a note penned by Douglas. In his message, he expressed: “Hi everyone, it’s Michael speaking. @davinamccall will be temporarily out of reach while she recuperates from her brain surgery. She is in excellent health and being well taken care of.
From time to time, I’ll post updates on her behalf for those who are curious. Rest assured, she’ll read all your messages once she can. So, don’t hesitate to share your affection. The power of community support is truly remarkable. Wishing you all a wonderful day!
The video has received a flood of appreciation from fans and professionals in television, with presenter Julia Bradbury expressing: “You are cherished and encouraged. Wishing you well. I understand your fear. Take care, mend, recover. I’ll see you again soon.
Meanwhile, Rylan Clark commented: “We’re all thinking of you beautiful.”
The Brain Tumor Charity conveyed their gratitude to BBC News for her decision to bring attention to this particularly tragic illness, and they hope for the most favorable outcome for McCall.
This past year, I was humbled to receive a distinguished accolade at the NTAs for my impact on the small screen world. (Cinephile speaking)
