Davina McCall, 56, defiantly hits back at trolls who criticise her bikini snaps with foul-mouthed retort as she says negative comments are ‘motivational’ for her

Davina McCall has defiantly hit back at trolls who’ve criticised her bikini snaps.

The presenter, 56, is well known for her love of fitness and often showcases her incredible physique on social media, with the star stunning in a skimpy red bikini earlier this month.  

However, in a new interview, Davina told how the negative comments she receives ‘motivate’ her to continue what she’s doing.

Speaking to The Sun, the My Mum, Your Dad host noted that the more stick she gets, the more she’s inclined to say a big ‘F* you’ to the naysayers and continue flaunting her jaw-dropping figure. 

Addressing the how she deals with the backlash she receives, she told the publication: ‘It’s an easy one. The more stick I get, people telling me to put it away, it’s great because I’m like, “F* you”.

She continued: ‘The more people go, “You shouldn’t be doing that”, the more I’m going to do it. It’s immediately sort of motivational.

‘And that’s why I post all my workout videos. So if I do a workout in the morning and somebody underneath replies, “Oh, thank you, you’ve just reminded me I’m going to go today”, that’s brilliant.’

Last week, Davina explained why she refuses to act or dress her age and revealed that the new series of My Mum, Your Dad made her cry.

Series two of ITV’s My Mum, Your Dad will air sometime in September and it follows middle-aged single parents looking to find love again – with their children watching their every move.

Ahead of its return, Davina spoke about what she has in common with the contestants and recalls a particularly touching moment from the new series. 

Davina said: ‘Our age group, we are the first of a new generation of midlifers. We are the people that were at the raves, taking drugs, we’re pioneers. We were naughty, we were fun, we were outrageous – and then we had kids.

‘We settled down, we were good people for 18 years and now we’re thinking: ‘Right, let’s go again.” It’s like having a second chance at life, and we’re making the kids watch that second chance.’
