Davina McCall’s tumor diagnosis
After undergoing a body scan earlier this year, Davina discovered she had a “rare” colloid cyst in her brain.
She told her followers earlier in November that she’d be opting for a craniotomy operation: “It needs to come out because if it grows, it would be bad,” reports Deadline.
After the six-hour medical procedure, Davina has now had the tumor removed.

Taking to Instagram this November, Davina’s partner, Michael, shares how the operation went smoothly.
