Davina McCall ‘unbelievably grateful’ as she shares new update after brain surgery

Davina McCall revealed in November that she was having surgery to remove a rare fluid-filled benign tumor called a colloid cyst from her brain.

Davina, 57, revealed that things weren’t going her way right away after her operation at the time. The TV star explained that she was concerned about Michael Douglas, 49, when she woke up “confused” after the operation. She praised her surgeon, Kevin O’Neill, and said she was focused on recovering.

The Big Brother presenter updated her health a few months later and reflected on how she and Michael managed to survive in such a terrifying circumstance.

When Davina addressed Hello, “You have a new outlook on life, gratitude, love for people, love for nature, love for architecture – everything looks beautiful. That’s different, but not anything about it in terms of personality.

The Channel 4 star continued, “Michael’s crisis seemed like it was a long struggle,” while for her, it appeared to be one of the fingers. She continued, “Once I started having no short-term memory, I obviously had no short-term memory.” She went on to explain their very different experiences.

Davina mentioned that she is beginning to “unpack” her experience and is returning to work. The actress described how her three children, Holly, Tilly, and Chester, handled her illness while also giving an explanation of how her children handled it.

The TV personality recalled that when her children arrived home from the hospital, they were “so pleased” with her recovery. “Oh, I didn’t know it was that serious,” she said.

Davina also discussed how Michael’s reaction to her son’s reaction affected her, saying, “I was kind of the same in every other way. I still loved to dance, but I didn’t realize I could do it because I had become a little more zen. I was a little meditating.

Davina also disclosed that she had a hypnotist before having surgery and that she would experience the same thing.

She explained that prior to the operation, Dr. O’Neill had not realized that she had been hypnotized. She and her doctor are the best of friends, she demonstrated at a gala, though.

“I’m very lucky that my boyfriend and my brain surgeon are here tonight. Kevin is very significant to us, so I’m supporting him. It means a lot to me to be able to spend time with him tonight, Davina said.

She continued, “It’s very sobering being here and seeing people who are still living with their tumor who are unable to operate on it or who are just looking for those words, “it’s stable.” Knowing how fortunate I am is very emotional.
