'I feel a lot more myself' Davina McCall 'way better' following brain tumour surgery
Davina McCall is feeling "way better" following her recent brain tumour surgery.
The 57-year-old TV presenter underwent an operation in November to remove a colloid cyst after it was picked up on a scan, and the star has now admitted her "sense of gratitude" is "growing by the day", and the 'Masked Singer' judge joked she was "quite bonkers" at times before she went under the knife.
Speaking in an Instagram video, she said: "I really feel a lot more myself.
"I've looked back at some of the stuff I've been talking about, and I've realised I've been quite bonkers.
"So I just thought I'd clarify a few things. Firstly, I feel way better.
"My sense of gratitude seems to be growing by the day.
"I'm crying a bit less, which is good, and I'm really looking forward to Christmas."
Davina feels "so grateful" for undergoing a health check, during which her colloid cyst was discovered, and admitted it is the "best Christmas present" she could've asked for.
She added: "I know I keep banging on about it, but I just feel so grateful, and it's Christmas.
"It's the best present I could've ever received.
"I'm full of thanks and gratitude."
Davina also admitted she was in a "weird place" where she wanted to thank her private healthcare facility, but is also well aware it isn't "financially viable" for most people to undergo a private health check.
She wrote: "I understand that for most of my followers having a private health check isn’t financially viable. But I do really believe that @onewelbeck deserve a special mention. They were the company that gifted me the health check in return for the talk I gave them, and that health check quite possibly saved my life. I owe Rupal and Simi a special debt of gratitude for guiding me through what has been a mad year . I interviewed @drchatterjee recently and he said that the tough times he’s faced have always ended up being blessings of some sort … and I definitely feel this whole experience is a blessing . The love I feel for life, my family , my partner, nature, sun, rain , wind… everything… it’s overwhelming at times… and I totally understand how lucky I was to get this health check … but there were many health checks that I skilfully ignored , when I got letters from @nhsengland offering them…. so what I’m saying is DO THE NHS HEALTH CHECKS … they r free ! BTW x thank you , for all the messages and support … big hugs (sic)"
