Davina McCall has described the "weirdest thing ever" in discovering she had a rare brain tumour as she shares more details amid her surgery recovery.

Davina confirmed the shock health news on social media last Friday (November 15) in a social media post. The 57-year-old said in a video: "A few months ago, I did a menopause talk for a company and they offered me a health scan in return, which I thought I was gonna ace.

But it turned out I had a benign brain tumour called a colloid cyst which is very rare. Three in a million. So I slightly put my head in the sand." The Long Lost Family host and Masked Singer judge explained how she sought opinions from neurosurgeons and after getting their advice, decided the best course of action was to get the tumour removed and she went under the knife for a craniotomy at the end of last week.
