Mum-of-three, Davina McCall, had brain surgery two years ago after doctors found a rare benign tumour, called a colloid cyst, during a health check-up
Telly legend, Davina McCall, has shared a heartbreaking photo two years after undergoing brain surgery.
The mum-of-three, 59, emotionally admitted she was a “worried little Dory” – in reference to the film Finding Nemo – after finding out she had rare benign tumour, called a colloid cyst, which was removed in a gruelling operation.
Thankfully, Davina, who married hairdresser, Michael Douglas, last year says she’s now “feeling amazing” and shared a snap of herself wearing a head bandage directly after her brain surgery as she thanked her family for sticking by her.

Captioning the snap, which she has put next to a huge framed photo of her brain scan, she wrote: “Two years ago today, Michael and I started the toughest 18 months of our lives. I’d like to celebrate feeling amazing today.
“I would also like to say sorry, for all the worry I put Michael and our kids thru, It was a lot. For everyone. And there I was just there being a worried little Dory in the middle of it [sic].”
Thanking model, Caprice, who was diagnosed with a benign brain tumour in 2017, she continued: “But here we are! On top form. Living life to the Max. We owe you everything KEVIN @brain.surgeon.uk you are the best!! @capricebourret was right!! And thank you, Caprice thank you, Rupi and @welbeckhealth for finding it and to everyone at @clevelandcliniclondon who took such great care of me.
“I’d like to thank my body and my brain, we’ve been through a lot and you’ve really worked hard to recover. Well done us but mostly thank you Michael I really couldn’t have got through this without you. You are a superhero. My superhero.”
The star’s positive post amassed hundreds of well wishes, with Davina’s famous pals, including Paloma Faith, Fearne Cotton and Suranne Jones, all sending their love.
It comes after the Masked Singer star paid tribute to actress Caprice at the Davina McCall x Rachel Jackson Choose Love launch party. Thanking her friend for putting her in touch with ‘super surgeon ‘ Kevin O’Neill, Davina shared: “We worked on a ski show, [The Jump, in 2017] and very sadly, [Caprice] got a concussion from a ski accident when we were on this show. And they took her to go and get an MRI, and they found a brain tumour and sent her home.
“I haven’t seen you for ages, and life is so mad and busy. But when I found out I had a brain tumour, she was the first person I called. I told her what the brain surgeon had said to me, and she said, ‘No, no, no, no, you’ve got to speak to this guy Kevin O’Neill, he’s the best guy’, and you don’t argue with Caprice.”
