Davina McCall Reveals Early Breast Cancer and Says Lumpectomy Was Successful

She credits an ITV awareness poster for prompting the check that caught the tumour early.

Overview

  • Davina McCall announced on Instagram on 8 November that she was diagnosed after noticing a lump that appeared intermittently.
  • She underwent a lumpectomy nearly three weeks earlier, with clear surgical margins and no lymph nodes removed.
  • Doctors confirmed the cancer had not spread, and she is set for a five‑day precautionary radiotherapy course in January 2026.
  • McCall urged people to self‑check and keep screening appointments, noting her dense breasts and a postponed ultrasound following an August mammogram.
  • She thanked staff at London’s Royal Marsden Hospital and her family, and the update follows last year’s surgery to remove a benign brain tumour with an all‑clear MRI in 2025.
