Davina McCall Feels ‘Super Positive’ Returning to Running After Cancer Treatment

Davina McCall reveals she is feeling ‘super positive’ about her return to running in an a new Instagram post on Saturday after revealing she had undergone treatment for breast cancer.

The TV personality, 58, announced in November 2024 that she had been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of brain tumour. 

She bravely endured a gruelling six-hour operation to remove the 14mm cyst. 

Almost exactly a year later however, on November 8, she revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer six weeks before and had undergone successful surgery after discovering a lump in her breast while on the set of The Masked Singer. 

Davina has now revealed that she has restarted running again as she completed her first jog. 

Sharing a selfie to her social media grid, she appeared elated as she smilied at the camera while wearing a red beanie hat.

She penned: ‘First run ! Yesssssssssss….. back to day one of running again… so good for my head … feeling super positive’ 

Davina previously explained how the disease had been caught ‘very very early’ but would still require radiotherapy.

In the candid clip, the star said she was opening up in a bid to help others, just like she did when doctors operated on her rare benign brain tumour in November 2024.

She recalled first discovering the lump while on the set of the ITV singing show, before a sign in the toilets at the Lorraine studios encouraged her to get checked.

Davina said: ‘I just wanted to tell you I have had breast cancer, I found a lump a few weeks ago and it came and went.’

‘But then when I was filming The Masked Singer, the show Lorraine put signs on the back of their toilet doors saying ‘check your breasts’ and every time I went for a wee I did that, and it was still there.’

‘So I underwent a biopsy and it was indeed breast cancer and I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago.’

Davina went on to discuss the results of her surgery and how doctors had now given her the all clear.

The former Big Brother host went on: ‘It was very very small so I got it very very early, which is incredibly lucky, but I am so relieved that I have had it removed and that it hasn’t spread.’

Davina said that despite the good news she would still require five days of radiotherapy in January as an ‘insurance policy’ to remain cancer free.

She thanked the doctors and nurses as well as her family and fiancé Michael Douglas before admitting: ‘I was very angry when I found out, but I let go of that and I feel in a much more positive place now.’
