Davina McCall secretly marries Michael Douglas after whirlwind engagement

Davina McCall has married Michael Douglas in a romantic low key ceremony, just three months after they got engaged. The couple are said to have tied the knot on Friday in a ceremony attended by family and close friends.

Michael has been by Davina’s side throughout her recent health battles including a brain tumour and breast cancer. The pair are said to have married the day before they attended their friend’s larger wedding.

Davina has had a tough year but there was some joy when the pair got engaged in September. Speaking about their engagement, Davina confessed she nearly ruined his romantic proposal because she was “miserable”.

Speaking about the cliff-top proposal, she said: “It happened in Ibiza. What was quite funny was after after lunch Michael had booked a lunch which was like, not that usual on a beach and he wanted to take me to a beach where we’d been with all the kids before. So I was like, ‘Oh, this is really nice.’ And then he said, ‘Let’s go for a walk around the cliffs.’

“Now I’m in Ibiza right? When I’m in Ibiza, I dress for Ibiza, Chris. I’m in some god-forsaken cowboy boot, little pink cowboy boots with steel toe caps and I’m not in a cliff climbing outfit ….

“He recited something that was lovely and then he got down on one knee. But what was quite funny is he’d spent the year before getting down on one knee and tying a pretend shoelace. So I’d go, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s proposing’. And then he’d tie a pretend shoelace and I go, ‘Ah.’ So after four or five of those, it just became an in joke.”

Davina and Michael’s wedding was at a small venue, with just relatives and 10 friends in attendance.

A source told The Sun: “Their wedding was perfect, exactly what they wanted. They chose a small venue close to their home, and just invited about ten of their friends and relatives to be there with them.

“It was very intimate and everyone who attended is very special in their lives. They’ve been through a huge amount in recent months, with Davina’s health, and it just felt right to formalise their marriage. They didn’t see the point in waiting. The next day they just carried on with life as normal, and as coincidence would have it they were guests at another friend’s wedding day.

“So they went as a married ­couple for the first time and happily showed off her wedding ring. It was the perfect weekend.”

In September, Michael told The Mirror that they were happy as they were. He said: “There could be wedding bells on the way, who knows, I’m not going anywhere else if that’s why you mean. But we’re in no rush for any of that, we just enjoy each others company.”

Davina was previously married to Andrew Leggett from 1997 to 1999 and then married Matthew Robertson until their split in 2017. She has three children – Holly, Tilly and Chester with her ex Matthew.
