Davina McCall opens up about her drug addiction

Davina McCall has spoken openly about her drug addiction and how her three children know about it too.

The 50-year-old spoke to the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast about why she thought it was important to be ‘brutally honest’ with her kids about her past.

She didn’t want her children to hear about her struggles from their friends or classmates first and the honest parenting approach has helped her children come to her with their issues.

Davina’s children, Holly(16), Tilly(14) and Chester(11), lived through her treatment and were very understanding when she explained what the meetings she was going to were Narcotics Anonyous ones.

‘Actually, I had to be brutally honest quite early on when I thought other kids might talk to them about it. They grew up with ‘Mummy’s going to a meeting’

‘They were all really very accepting. They’d say, ”We thought it was something like that. Is that why you don’t drink?”

The way she turned around her life after quitting drugs at the age of 25, then subsequently alcohol and smoking inspired thousands of people.

Now a famous fitness enthusiast, she headlines WellFest here in May.
