Davina McCall honours ‘best dad ever’

In an Instagram post shared on Friday (February 28), Davina posted a wholesome photo of herself cuddling up with her father.

Three years have passed .. miss you … best Dad ever,” she wrote.

“Solid, dependable, silly, fun, honest, safe, encouraging, happy, cuddly , mummy , Milly and I think about you every day … you visited me after my op … you were soooooo real … I feel like I’ve seen you recently!!! Feels nice !!!!”

‘Saddest discovery’

During an appearance on her Making The Cut podcast, which she hosts alongside hairdresser boyfriend Michael Douglas, Davina admitted she started to feel confused following her surgery. She even believed she had been spending time with her dad – to the point where Michael had to “reinforce reality”.

“I think the saddest one for me, because I had spent the most amazing afternoon with my dad, who died two years ago, but it was the most real experience I have ever had,” Davina said as she started to feel emotional.

Michael explained: “Yes, I didn’t want to bother with that. I thought, right, well, I’m not bothering correcting that, that, you know, fantasy or something. We’ll just leave that hanging for a bit.”
