TV presenter Davina McCall has recently returned home following surgery to remove a benign brain tumor, marking a significant milestone in her recovery. In an emotional Instagram story, she expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support she has received during this challenging time, stating it’s “really nice to be back home.”
In her post, McCall reflected on her health journey and acknowledged the heartfelt messages from fans that have meant so much to her.
She noted that while her short-term memory is currently affected, she is actively working on it by jotting down daily activities to feel more secure.
McCall shared that she is “on the mend,” emphasizing the importance of rest and sleep in her recovery process.
The 57-year-old’s update comes after a period of silence regarding her health since announcing her diagnosis earlier this month. Her partner, Michael, had been managing her social media accounts, providing followers with updates on her condition.
McCall credited Michael and her stepmother, Gabby, for their exceptional care during this time. She praised Gabby as a “big rock” in her life and humorously referred to her as “a big dose of vitamin G.”
Expressing her gratitude, McCall stated that moments like these remind her of how fortunate she is, reinforcing a sense of appreciation for both family and life itself.
Earlier this month, she disclosed that she had been diagnosed with a colloid cyst—a type of benign tumor found incidentally during a health scan linked to a menopause talk. These tumors are rare, occurring in approximately three out of one million people.
Colloid cysts form within fluid-filled cavities in the brain and contribute to less than 2% of all primary brain tumors. Their growth rates and symptoms can vary widely among individuals. McCall underwent a craniotomy procedure to remove the tumor successfully—a surgery described by Dr. Douglas as “textbook.”
With an extensive career that includes hosting popular shows such as Big Brother and Long Lost Family, McCall continues to advocate for women’s health issues, particularly menopause awareness.
As she continues on the path to recovery, McCall’s experience serves as a reminder of resilience and the importance of support systems during health challenges.
