Davina McCall has reposted her tearful September 2024 NTAs tribute to now husband Michael Douglas following the pair’s secret wedding last week.
The TV personality, 58, tied the knot with the celebrity hairdresser, 49, in an intimate London ceremony, just two months after their surprise Ibiza engagement.
In the clip posted to her Instagram Stories, an emotional Davina paid tribute to Michael after he supported her through surgery to remove a benign brain tumour as well as her more recent breast cancer diagnosis.
The star addressed him by his full name ‘Michael Douglas‘, and joked ‘the younger one, not the older one,’ in reference to the Hollywood actor of the same name.
Choking back tears while accepting her Special Recognition award she said: ‘I love being on this journey with you, you make me a better person and you make me so happy, thank you!’.
The camera then showed an equally emotional Michael watching proudly from the audience as the crowd cheered.

Davina swapped the traditional wedding gown for a white fur-look coat as she tied the knot with Michael in a small London ceremony.
Pictures have shown the heartwarming moment the couple departed Marylebone Town Hall after being declared husband and wife.
Excitedly posing with her new husband, Davina showed off her bridal white fur coat and matching lace hat, layered over matching tights and ankle-strap heels, while Michael opted for a bright blue suit.
She and Michael were supported by their loved ones at the wedding, with Davina’s daughter Tilly, 21, sharing a video on TikTok ahead of the ceremony.
The presenter displayed her wedding ring for the first time during an appearance on Stand Up To Cancer 2025 on Friday.
During the show Davina was moved to tears when a cancer patient at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge asked her how she was doing during the Cancer Clinic Live segment.
The star, who revealed in November that she had undergone surgery for breast cancer, joined Stewart and his partner Michelle at the clinic to discuss his battle with bowel cancer.
The one-off live clinic followed patients at pivotal moments – from receiving test results to undergoing treatment.

Towards the end of their emotional chat, Davina wished Stewart well, and he returned the sentiment, leaving the star visibly overwhelmed.
Choking back tears, she said: ‘Can I just say, you asking me that, I can’t believe that.’
She added: ‘Can I just say something, I’m really good.’
‘Good, that’s what I like to hear,’ Stewart replied, as Davina sweetly cupped the side of his face and thanked him for his kindness.
As he walked away with his partner, Davina, still teary-eyed, called after them: ‘Have a great meeting, thank you. Happy Christmas both of you – love you.’
During the segment, Davina also urged the public not to skip their cancer screenings.
Speaking live from Addenbrooke’s Hospital, where she presented Cancer Clinic Live as part of Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer broadcast, she said: ‘Right now, finding cancer early is still the most effective step,
‘So if there’s one thing you’ve learned tonight, it’s that you might think you don’t want to and you might thing you don’t want to know, but I’m telling you, you do.

‘Don’t be afraid, you are your own best defence. It is so important to pay attention to your own body, for you and for the people that love you.’
She bravely endured a gruelling six-hour operation to remove the 14mm cyst.
Almost exactly a year later, however, on November 8, she revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer six weeks before and had undergone successful surgery after discovering a lump in her breast while on the set of The Masked Singer.
Davina previously explained how the disease had been caught ‘very very early’ but would still require radiotherapy.
