Overview

• Davina McCall visited Kirsty Waugh on May 8, 2025, at her home to share experiences, laughter, and encouragement during Kirsty’s ongoing treatment for a benign brain tumour.
• Both McCall and Kirsty were connected by their diagnoses on November 15, 2024, when McCall had surgery to remove a colloid cyst and Kirsty was diagnosed with a grade-one benign tumour.
• Kirsty, now undergoing a 70-week chemotherapy regimen, has shown signs of recovery, with her tumour shrinking and improvements in eyesight and memory since February 2025.
• Kirsty’s fundraising campaign, crocheting bunting triangles to mark each week of her treatment, has raised over £21,000 for Children with Cancer UK.
• McCall continues to advocate for brain tumour research, drawing attention to the challenges posed by benign tumours and the importance of early detection and support.
