Davina McCall has been given the “all-clear” amid her cancer battle.

The 58-year-old TV presenter was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025, but she’s now been given the all-clear by her doctors.

Speaking on her Making The Cut podcast, McCall said: “I went to go and have a check-up on my boobs the other day, obviously quite a serious day, quite heavy.

“It was all-clear, just letting everyone know. Good news, good news.”

The former Big Brother host, who underwent a lumpectomy last year after discovering a lump in her breast while working on The Masked Singer, also revealed that she lifted her own spirits by using a credit card wand on the day of her check-up.

“I went to go and pay my bill and I tapped my wand and literally people were beside themselves. I thought, this heavy day has become very joyful and funny. And I’ve not only put a smile on other people’s faces, but I’ve put a smile on mine.

“It is quite a big wand, like your fairy godmother would come along and bestow your greatest wishes upon you with this wand.

“In this star on the top of the wand, when you unscrew it, there is a debit or credit card-size slot that you can slot your card into, then you reattach the handle ... I’ve tried it everywhere now.”

McCall announced in November she’d undergone surgery to remove a cancerous lump from her breast and praised her hair stylist spouse Michael Douglas for helping her to cope.

“He was like, ‘okay, so look, I’m just letting you know if you want to kind of get angry with me or just like, tell me you’re angry. Like, you know, I’m here’,” she said.

“I was like, ‘I’m not angry. It’s fine. It’s meant to be. I’ve obviously got to learn something’, [I was] trying to be positive, right?

“And he said, ‘But if you were angry, it’s okay. You can, you can be angry’.”
