Davina McCall announced her return to work with a bang after recreating the iconic Devil Wears Prada scene in her latest Instagram reel.
The TV presenter, 57, underwent surgery in November after doctors discovered a a life-threatening brain tumour that affects three in a million people.
After previously admitting she feels as though she has been given a ‘second chance at life,’ the star stepped into Meryl Streep’s shoes as she announced her podcast Begin Again is returning.
Replicating the arrival of Miranda Priestly into the Runway offices, Davina’s stylish heeled loafers are filmed walking along the street as panic breaks out in the office with Emily Blunt’s character exclaiming: ‘She’s on her way. Tell everyone.’
As the office staff begin frantically tidying to ensure everything is ready for Davina’s arrival, as Stanley Tucci’s replicate announced: ‘Alright everyone gird your loins,’ before asking ‘Did someone eat an onion bagel?’
Featuring a special cameo from fellow podcast host Stephen Bartlett, the Dragon’s Den star quickly exits the lift to make space for the Davina as he utters his apologies.

Taking to the comments, fans went wild for the skit as they penned: ‘This is pure gold but Steven in the lift is my fav part, made me laugh so much.’
Others wrote: ‘I love it when Steven gets out of the lift’; ‘I’ve watched it 64 times and still SO good. Insane work team and can’t believe this is our job / life’;
‘She’s backkkkk’; ‘THE QUEEN IS BACK’; ‘Love when Steven’s being sorry in the elevator’; ‘The most iconic film for the most iconic woman @davinamccall’.
Davina’s podcast is dedicated to ’empowering people to embrace midlife as their most transformative era yet’ and sees the star interview guests who share stories of growth and rediscovery.
The podcast description reads: ‘Davina wants everyone to know that midlife is not the start of the end; instead, it’s the perfect opportunity and time to Begin Again.’
Last November Davina underwent surgery when her tumour was picked up at a private clinic after she was offered a health check after taking part in a talk about menopause.

And weeks after a successful operation to remove the growth, Davina told how her survival feels like a ‘gift’ while reflecting on the success of her new Begin Again podcast.
Taking to Instagram at the end of December, the TV star recorded a video as she thanked fans for their support over her latest project, while also looking back on her own health journey as she admitted she feels like she’s ‘begun again’.
She explained: ‘Thanks for joining me on my Begin Again podcast. I’ve loved recording this podcast, and I’ve loved meeting everybody.
‘What I’ve enjoyed about recording this podcast is, it’s so so broad. Begin Again can mean anything, it can mean something similar to what I’ve just been through, which is having a life-threatening tumour and it being removed.
‘I feel like I’ve begun again, I mean in the weirdest sense, I guess because I’ve had a positive outcome. It’s like being given a second chance at life. It feels amazing, almost as if I’ve been given a gift.’
The former Big Brother host then went on to list other ways that beginning again relates to other people, as she listed things such as an enormous crisis, losing a job, a divorce or an accident.
Davina added that she’ll be on hand to support those who feel like they’re ‘stagnating’ in life or just need ‘a kick up the bum’ as she opened up about her hopes and plans for the podcast’s future.
After a few moments of reflection, she concluded by adding: ‘I have found Christmas so challenging in the past and now I don’t find it challenging. So there’s always the possibility of new beginnings… always.
‘I think I’m gonna be a nightmare next year – I’ve gone very self-reflective!’
