ver the past few weeks, TV presenter Davina McCall has been open about the discovery of a brain tumour and the subsequent operation to remove it.

Davina McCall shares weight loss after brain tumour operation
Sporting her gym gear, Davina shared a clip to Instagram explaining she is attempting to ease herself in to working out again.
I have lost a lot of muscle and a lot of fat.
She explained: “I am nearly two months post-surgery and I am ready to workout. Taking it super easy. I have lost a lot of muscle and a lot of fat.”
It was here that Davina admitted she had lost a lot of weight and therefore wishes to tone up.
Davina continued: “I have lost weight and I can’t wait to tone up a bit and fill out a bit. So I did a 15-minute workout yesterday, just to make sure I was going to be okay.”
Davina detailed that she was going to try out a 20-minute sculpting and toning workout before showing off her moves on a mat with some light weights.
The star also penned in the caption: “Okay I’m back training. Been walking daily. Yesterday I did 15 minutes in the gym, just to see. I’ve lost a lot of muscle so going to eat really well and train hard!! This @ownyourgoalsdavina challenge has come at the perfect time…feels quite humbling…but in a good way. Taking everything nice and slow…really listening to my body.”

Davina McCall’s recovery
Of course, Davina’s fans were on hand to hype the podcast presenter up with some gushing praise. One wrote: “It’s great to see you back in action Davina. Your strength and positivity is admirable.”
Another commented: “Go Davina! Love this! Your body knows what you need.”
A third cheered on: “Good to see you recovering well.”
Davina is definitely back on track after a stint in the ICU after undergoing surgery to remove the benign tumour.
After discovering the potentially life-threatening tumour, Davina told fans before Christmas: “Hi, so I’m posting this, it will be Friday morning. I’m posting it because a few months ago I did a menopause talk for a company and they offered me a health scan in return, which I thought I was going to ace, but it turned out I had a benign brain tumour called a colloid cyst, which is very rare.”
Davina has since said she feels like she has been given a second shot at life after undergoing the surgery.
Now, the star has evidently made a speedy recovery. You’ve got this Davina!
