Davina McCall announces discovery of a benign tumour

Davina McCall has announced she is undergoing an operation on her brain after doctors discovered a benign tumour.

The broadcaster, who has been covering on Heart Breakfast recently, shared the news on her social media that the tumour was a colloid cyst, and will be rinsed and removed in an upcoming craniotomy operation.

She said the result came as a shock to her as she thought she would ace the check up, but instead discovered she had a tumour

Davina added that it needs to come out, because if it grows it would be bad.

The former BBC Radio 2 cover presenter also shared that she only had the check up after a company offered her a health scan in return for giving a talk on the menopause.
