‘I wasn’t terrified of dying, but I didn’t want to leave my kids’: Davina McCall on addiction, reality TV and the brain tumour that nearly killed her

Davina McCall, a TV presenter, was offered a free health screening by her friend, Dame Lesley Regan, a gynaecologist. McCall initially thought the idea was ridiculous, as she considered herself the "healthiest woman" she had ever met. However, the screening revealed a shocking diagnosis - a brain tumour that nearly killed her. Despite not being "terrified of dying," McCall was concerned about leaving her children behind. After a successful recovery, she is now re-evaluating everything, including her approach to personal health and her involvement in reality TV. The article highlights McCall's journey, from a confident, healthy individual to someone facing a life-threatening condition, and her subsequent decision to prioritize her well-being and her family.
