Davina has been given the all clear
An emotional Davina McCall has received the all-clear from breast cancer and shared the ‘good news’ with her fans.
The beloved TV personality underwent a lumpectomy in October after finding a lump while working on ITV’s The Masked Singer. Now, Davina, who has also fought a benign brain tumour in recent years, has provided an update following her surgery and treatment earlier this year.
Speaking on her podcast Making The Cut with her husband Michael Douglas, she said: “I went to go and have a checkup on my boobs the other day, obviously quite a serious day, quite heavy. She went on: ” She continued: “It was all clear, just letting everyone know. Good news, good news.”
The 58-year-old noticed a lump after checks recommended by friend and fellow TV presenter Lorraine Kelly. Davina underwent surgery late last year and has since undergone radiotherapy.
The star shocked her fans back in November and said: “I just wanted to tell you that I have had breast cancer. I found a lump a few weeks ago, and it came and went.” She added: “So I had a biopsy.”, reports the Mirror.
“I found out it was indeed breast cancer, and I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago … It was very, very small, so I got it very, very early, which is incredibly lucky, but I am so relieved to have had it removed, and to know that it hasn’t spread.”
Davina also mentioned at the time that she had ‘dense breasts’, which is a risk factor for developing breast cancer and makes it more difficult to detect.
Reflecting on the moment she received the devastating news, she said: “It felt like being punched in the face by the universe. I just thought, what? I was just beginning to feel myself again.”
She emphasised that her experience serves as a crucial reminder for women to regularly self-examine.
“I found a lump myself and I had had a mammogram in August. It was in October that I found a lump, so don’t just think, ‘I had a mammogram recently, it can’t be that’ – it could be. If you’ve got something, go and get it looked at. It takes seconds.”
Adding on the podcast today, Davina shared a humorous moment at the hospital, saying: “I went to go and pay my bill and I tapped my wand and literally people were beside themselves. I thought, this heavy day has become very joyful and funny. And I’ve not only put a smile on other people’s faces, but I’ve put a smile on mine.’
“It is quite a big wand, like your fairy godmother would come along and bestow your greatest wishes upon you with this wand. In this star on the top of the wand, when you unscrew it, there is a debit or credit card size slot that you can slot your card into, then you reattach the handle… I’ve tried it everywhere now.”
