Davina McCall Undergoes Brain Surgery, Recovering in ICU

TV presenter Davina McCall, 57, is recovering in intensive care after undergoing surgery to remove a rare 14mm benign brain tumour known as a colloid cyst. In an emotional announcement, Davina shared that the tumour was discovered during a health scan related to a menopause talk she had given, which revealed the unexpected diagnosis of a condition affecting only three in a million people. Her partner, Michael Douglas, provided updates on her health via Instagram, confirming the surgery was 'textbook' and expressing gratitude for the support from fans. Davina had been feeling 'up and down' prior to the surgery but remained in good spirits, urging her followers to keep her in their thoughts. She will be taking a break from social media as she recuperates, with plans to remain in the hospital for at least nine days. The operation was deemed necessary to prevent potential complications from the growing tumour.
