Davina McCall has revealed that she’s been given the all clear from her brain tumour.
The TV presenter, 57, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour.
She had a six-hour operation to remove a 14mmm colloid cyst from her brain on November 15, after a health check discovered the tumour.
And taking to Instagram on Saturday, the star appeared in a video with her partner Michael Douglas, where she gave a health update following a recent MRI scan.
Davina also shared unseen before and after snaps from her scan revealing that the tumour has completely disappeared from her brain.
Accompanying the video, Davina penned: ‘So here it is. Our final brain surgery update. Had the final MRI this week. @brain.surgeon.uk got everything out during surgery, it’s not coming back.

‘Thanks so so much to everyone at @onewelbeck and @clevelandclinic . To my mum and @mdlondon for taking such good care of me . To Sarah for being my BFF to my amazing kids. To @brain.surgeon.uk for being the GOAT.
‘I am so so grateful particularly because I know a lot of people have inoperable tumours and and I know I’m lucky to be able to draw a line under this and move on with my life when so many people can’t. And I’m just gonna say this one more time. Benign does not mean fine.’
The clip saw the Masked Singer judge and her celebrity hairdresser beau sitting in the sunshine, with Davina telling the camera: ‘We thought’s we’d post a final brain operation update’, with Michael chiming in: ‘It’s good news!’
She told how she had her final MRI last week and admitted that she was nervous’ as if any of the tumour was left that it would grow back and she’d have to ‘go through the whole thing again’.
She noted that she’d ‘mentally prepared herself’ for that scenario, while Michael added that he too was nervous as it had been ‘a huge journey’.
Laughing with joy and relief, Davina then added: ‘but it was clear!’
The pair then held up two scan pictures, the first showing the tumour in her brain and the second showing that it had completely gone post-surgery.
Davina went on: ‘I want to say a massive thank you to everybody that looked after me so well. A special heartfelt thank you from both of us to Kevin for being such an absolute legend.’

Alongside the video, Davina said: ‘So here it is. Our final brain surgery update. Had the final MRI this week. @brain.surgeon.uk got everything out during surgery, it’s not coming back’
The couple also thanked the supportive fans and also their own families and friends, with Davina concluding by blowing a kiss to the camera.
Last month, Davina broke down in tears live on Comic Relief as she discussed her recent brain tumour surgery.
The presenter emotionally reflected on life and ‘what really matters’ after undergoing an operation to remove a colloid cyst five months ago.
Speaking on the programme, she said: ‘Doctors found a brain tumour and after thinking about it for a while I decided it would be best to have it removed.’
Davina struggled to hold back tears, with the camera crew being forced to step in and ask if she was ok.
As her voice cracked, she added: ‘This whole experience, kind of weighing up all the risks and all the positive things about having this tumour removed made me really think deeply about what life is really about and what matters when life gets tough.

‘I needed the brilliance and the skills of lots of experts to make me okay. And oh my goodness, I’ve needed the love and support of friends and my family, and in particular, my Michael to get me through.’
Davina concluded: ‘It really made me think that there are so many people who are in trouble and danger and they don’t have the support that I had. I was really lucky.’
Davina revealed the news back last year on Instagram, she said in a video: ‘I was offered a health scan which I thought I was going to ace but it turned out I had benign brain tumour which is very rare, three in a million.
‘I slightly put my head in the sand for a while, I saw a few neurosurgeons, had quite a lot of opinions and realised I needed to take it out.
‘It’s quite big, it’s 14mm wide and it needs to come out because if it grows it would be bad. I’m having it removed. Say a prayer for me. I’m in good spirits.’
Davina explained that while she was at no immediate risk, doctors were concerned that the tumour could grow larger and cause complications.
A colloid cyst is a slow-growing tumour typically found near the center of the brain. The benign growth contains gelatinous material.
