British TV icon Davina McCall has revealed the scar she has on the top of her head from her recent brain surgery.
Davina opened up in a cute Instagram video this weekend, posted by her partner Michael Douglas as he styled her hair.
Davina said last week that she’s feeling much better, a few weeks on from the surgery. And now, in a new video, she’s revealed that her scar is healing well, despite being a bit “crusty”.
Davina McCall shares scar in Instagram video with Michael Douglas
“Advent live 21,” Michael Douglas wrote in the caption on his Instagram video upload. He’s been counting up – or down – to Christmas with a series of hair makeover videos.
“[See] Davina McCall get [her] hair cut and styled! Using the MDLondon Wave. Enjoy this one. It’s was great fun. Thanks for watching, [and] feel free to share,” he said.
In the video, Davina responds to questions about her health after the operation. Someone asks how the scar is healing, and she says: “Scar’s good,” before offering to show it to the camera.
Davina, you’re so beautiful, inside and out.
“Shall I show you? It’s good. Look at that,” she says, pulling her hair apart to make it visible. “It’s from here, across to here. And all healed. It’s a bit crusty around here, but no hurting, not infected.”
Michael adds that there are “stubbly bits” of hair poking through, and explains that, since hair grows at a little over a centimetre per month (on average), in a year’s time, Davina’s scar will be completely unnoticeable.

Fans celebrate Davina as ‘inspiration’ during healing journey
“Talk about two people being made for each other,” one fan wrote in the comments below the video. “Wow. Relationship goals right there!”
“I just love watching you guys,” another wrote. “Davina, you’re so beautiful, inside and out.”
“You’re a true inspiration. I’m so pleased you’re doing so well with your recovery,” another commented.
“So inspiring to everyone out there facing an illness,” a third commented.
And a fourth: “Davina you’re beautiful inside and out. You two are great. Happy Christmas.”
She’s feeling ‘miles better’
“Hi,” Davina said in an Instagram video she posted to her own feed last week. “Just a quick update to let everyone know that I’m doing well.
“And the last couple of days I’ve really, really, really felt miles better, and I’ve come into London today to celebrate one of Michael’s boy’s birthdays, so that’s lovely.
She went on to explain that the picture used in The Masked Singer’s promotional materials for the upcoming 2025 series is from “from when we recorded [the show] earlier on this year, before my operation”.
“So I was fit as a fiddle then. I’m still recovering right now and I’m planning on getting back to work in about a month. But I just wanted to let you all know, okay,” she added.
We wish you the best, Davina!
