Davina McCall: Anger, Love, and Life Lessons from Health Scares

Davina McCall has publicly shared her courageous battle with significant health challenges over the past twelve months. She was diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare benign brain tumor, in November 2024. Less than a year later, in late 2025, she received the news of a breast cancer diagnosis. While both conditions are being treated with a positive prognosis, McCall admitted to experiencing anger.

Her message to the public emphasizes the importance of self-checks and attending scheduled mammograms. McCall reflected that life would never be the same but is choosing to view this period as a learning experience. She also revealed having difficult conversations with her partner, Michael Douglas, ahead of brain surgery, addressing her will and writing letters of wishes to her children.
