Davina McCall has shared a new photo taken from around the time she underwent brain surgery. Two years ago, the former Big Brother presenter, 59, underwent a craniotomy after doctors discovered a "very rare" colloid cyst in her brain. Doctors discovered the tumour during a routine health check, with Davina later undergoing a five-hour operation to remove the cyst. Reflecting on the experience in a recent Instagram post, Davina apologised to her husband, celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas, and her children for the "worry" they endured.

Sharing a photograph of herself recovering in a hospital bed, with a bandage wrapped around her head, alongside an image of her brain scan, Davina added that she feels "amazing" two years on from the surgery.

"Two years ago today, Michael and I started the toughest 18 months of our lives," she wrote in the caption.

"I’d like to celebrate feeling amazing today. I would also like to say sorry, for all the worry I put Michael and our kids thru, It was a lot. For everyone.

"And there I was just there being a worried little Dory in the middle of it.

She went on to thank her surgeon, Mr. Kevin O'Neill, who was recommended to her by model and friend Caprice Bourret, who also had surgery to remove a brain tumour.

"We owe you everything KEVIN @brain.surgeon.uk you are the best!! @capricebourret was right!!" Davina continued. "And thank you, Caprice thank you, Rupi and @welbeckhealth for finding it and to everyone at @clevelandcliniclondon who took such great care of me."

She went on: "I’d like to thank my body and my brain, we’ve been through a lot and you’ve really worked hard to recover.

"Well done us but mostly thank you Michael I really couldn’t have got through this without you. You are a superhero. My superhero.
