Overview
- Michael Douglas told The Mail on Sunday this weekend that the couple plan for McCall to work for roughly five more years before stepping back from television.
- The announcement followed a second wedding celebration at the couple’s home in Kent, which Douglas cited as prompting a desire to enjoy retirement while they are healthy.
- McCall’s decision comes after two recent medical scares: a rare colloid cyst on her brain was removed in 2024 and she underwent surgery for early-stage breast cancer last year, with follow-up scans reported as clear.
- Despite these events, McCall remains an active, high-profile presenter known for Big Brother, The Masked Singer and Long Lost Family and is still working while planning a future slowdown.
- The plan was reported via Douglas’s quotes to popular-press outlets rather than a fresh public statement from McCall, so she has not been directly quoted on the timing or details.
