Davina McCall Details Ongoing Emotional After-Effects After Brain Surgery

She says the ordeal still leaves her tearful despite being declared clear after surgery.

Overview

  • In a pre-recorded Loose Women interview, she said she 'can't stop crying' when talking about last year's operation.
  • On the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, she said she needs to 'do some work' on the trauma and described ongoing short-term memory issues.
  • She recalled worrying during recovery that her now-fiancĂ© Michael Douglas wanted distance before he reassured her their relationship was secure.
  • The 14mm colloid cyst was found during a routine health check she nearly skipped and was removed in a lengthy operation in November 2024.
  • Follow-up scans in April showed no recurrence, and she is urging people to understand that 'benign does not mean fine' for brain cysts.
