Davina McCall is out of surgery and ‘recovering in ICU,’ her partner Michael Douglas has confirmed. 

The TV presenter, 57, shared the news in an Instagram post on Friday that she had a ‘very rare’ colloid cyst that affects only three in a million people. 

Sharing a health update following her surgery, Michael said that the operation was ‘text book’ and she was grateful for everyone’s support. 

He wrote: ‘Hey all, Davina os out of surgery and according to the surgeon it was textbook!

‘She’s currently recovering in ICU as a precaution, as you can imagine she’s utterly exhausted.’

Michael added: Thanks so much for all the love from everyone on here… it’s super powerful stuff, we are super grateful. Michael xx’

Davina explained that she received the diagnosis by chance after booking in for a ‘health scan’. 

Davina said in a video: ‘I was offered a health scan which I thought I was going to ace but it turned out I had benign brain tumour which is very rare, three in a million. 

‘I slightly put my head in the sand for a while, I saw a few neurosurgeons, had quite a lot of opinions and realised I needed to take it out. 

‘It’s quite big, it’s 14mm wide and it needs to come out because if it grows it would be bad. I’m having it removed.’

She added: ‘Say a prayer for me. I’m in good spirits.’

Davina explained that while she was at no immediate risk, doctors were concerned that the tumour could grow larger and cause complications.
