It has been revealed that Davina McCall is not in a rush to marry her partner, Michael Douglas, after being given the all clear following getting her brain tumour removed.
In November of last year, the TV presenter revealed that a benign brain tumour had been discovered while she was undergoing a health check-up as part of her menopause awareness work.
Months on from the successful surgery, Davina shared a video on Instagram alongside Michael last week to share the news that she was in the all clear after having an MRI scan.
The 57-year-old also shared some unseen before and after snaps from her scan, revealing that the tumour has completely disappeared from her brain.
She wrote in the caption of the video: “So here it is. Our final brain surgery update. Had the final MRI this week. @brain.surgeon.uk got everything out during surgery, it’s not coming back.”
“I am so so grateful particularly because I know a lot of people have inoperable tumours and and I know I’m lucky to be able to draw a line under this and move on with my life when so many people can’t. And I’m just gonna say this one more time. Benign does not mean fine.”
The video sees the former Big Brother host and Mark sitting outside in the sunshine, and Davina says: “We thought’s we’d post a final brain operation update.”
Michael chimed in saying: “It’s good news!”
She also noted that she’d “mentally prepared herself” for a negative situation, Michael added that he was also nervous after the “huge journey.”
The pair started dating in 2019 and Davina has three kids – Holly, Tilly and Chester – with her ex-husband Matthew Robertson.
However, according to The Sun, she has no intention of tying the knot again any time soon, as Davina and Michael’s main focus is now traveling together.
A friend of Davina’s told the outlet that she “is besotted with Michael and so naturally we’re all wondering when they’ll get married and what’s next for them.”
They continued: “But Davina isn’t focused on getting married to Michael. She doesn’t want to get married right now. Instead, she wants to travel the world and have some amazing adventures with him.”
“One of Davina’s favourite things is being in nature and we reckon she’ll be planning some amazing road trip with Michael. Michael is very easy company. With him she can be exactly who she is. So going travelling will be easy for them because they get on so well.”
After slowly making a return to work, Davina shared with The Times why she will be friends with the neurosurgeon who removed her brain tumour “for the rest of our lives.”
“I love my kids so much, but I looked at them and thought: ‘Would they be OK without me?’ And the answer was yes, and that made me so proud.”
