‘Not many people ask women like me out on dates. It would take someone who didn’t mind all those particular challenges.’

Speaking to The Daily Mirror, Davina admitted that she was faking being happy following their marriage’s breakdown.

She revealed: ‘There’s been a few occasions where I’m struggling to see any positives in this at all. Happiness is marvellous. I love it when I’m happy, but I’m not always happy…

‘It might look like I’m always happy because I quite often just show the bits when I’m happy. But I am often guilty of thinking, “No one really wants to see me when I’m unhappy”.’

Earlier this month, Davina hinted that she had found love again as she candidly expressed sex as being ‘one of the greatest gifts.’
