TV favourite Davina McCall endured an “uncertain” time during her recovery from an operation to remove a benign tumour from her brain, her boyfriend has revealed.
Back in November, Davina shared that she was having an op to remove a rare brain tumour. And she told how partner Michael Douglas – a celebrity hairdresser – was on hand to support her throughout.
Michael has now spoken out about her recovery. He admitted it was “uncertain” at times, before revealing she’s continuing to recover well.

Speaking to Closer, Michael admitted the diagnosis was tough on the two of them. While “strong” Davina coped well, he admitted there were times where he was left feeling “fragile”.
There was about a month of uncertainty where we just didn’t know what kind of recovery she was going to make.
Sharing a health update, he continued: “She is doing really well. The general feeling is that it couldn’t have gone better. There was about a month of uncertainty where we just didn’t know what kind of recovery she was going to make.”
‘No man’s land’
The uncertainty of course caused a great deal of stress for both Michael and Davina.
“The middle of November to the middle of December was like no man’s land. But the brain is recovering really well. She says she really feels like herself again,” he shared.
When she shared her health issues last year, Davina was flooded with messages of love and support from fans and friends worldwide. Michael took over her Instagram to share updates with her followers.
When she was able, Davina took to her own social media and thanked fans for their support. And she also showed off her scars following the surgery.
Wedding news
Elsewhere in the interview, Michael hinted that he and Davina might just make it down the aisle. When pushed about getting down on one knee, he said that they have discussed getting married.
He shared: “We often talk about it, but I don’t think so. What I love about us is we’re not tied to each other and that’s what keeps us there in a way. There’s something nice about being independent people so we’re working out what it would mean for us to be married and if it’s something we should do and if we need to do it or not.”
