Long Lost Family host Davina McCall previously shared how she was “upset” over claims about her friendship with Kylie Minogue.
The TV favourite shot to fame in the ‘90s. Since then, she’s remained booked and busy, hosting shows like Big Brother and ITV’s Long Lost Family – which airs tonight (July 8).
So it is no surprise Davina has rubbed shoulders and struck up friendships with a slew of mega stars – including Kylie. However, according to Davina, she and Kylie lost touch – with Davina opening up about their friendship in an interview from 2023.
But Davina was quick to clarify what she meant following reports that she had ‘falling-out’ with the Aussie pop star.
Long Lost Family host Davina McCall starred in Kylie Minogue video
A year before getting her big break, Davina starred in the 1991 music video, Word Is Out for chart-topper Kylie as a dancer.
But while appearing on Richard Herring’s podcast in 2023, Davina shared how she and Kylie are “not friends now”.
We are not friends now. That is too complicated
“How could I forget dancing for Kylie. It was the highlight of my career. I was quite good friends with Kylie and we used to hang out. We are not friends now. That is too complicated,” she said.
Davina quipped: “It is weird you lose touch with people. She changed her phone number and did not give me the new one. No, that is a joke… or is it?”
