Davina McCall makes ‘enormous leap forward’ as she leaves ICU after surgery

TV presenter Davina McCall is out of intensive care and has made an “enormous leap forward” in the last 24 hours, following her surgery to remove a rare brain tumour.

In an update on her Instagram account her partner Michael Douglas said: “Thanks so much to all the well wishers. She really has made an enormous leap forward in the last 24 hours. She is out of ICU.”

The TV presenter, 57, previously posted a video on Instagram, to say she had been diagnosed with a type of benign tumour called a colloid cyst.

A benign tumour is not cancerous, but such cysts tend to grow slowly, according to the Brainstrust charity.
