Davina McCall shares brain scan photos as she gives positive health update (2025)

Davina McCall shared with fans scan pictures after undergoing brain surgery following her benign tumour diagnosis and as she issued a positive update on her health

Davina McCall has candidly revealed her brain scan images taken before and after her life-saving brain surgery. Former Big Brother host took to social media to share the scans and gave an update on her health after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.

The 57 year old TV presenter revealed that she had her final MRI scan and the results came back clear as the tumour had been successfully removed. In the short video clip posted to her Instagram stories, Davina is seen with her partner Michael Douglas as they shared the news with fans.

And in one part of the video, the duo decided to post an image of her scan before the operation, showing the tumour and its position in the former Big Brother star's brain. Meanwhile, the second brain scan shows Davina's brain once the tumour was successfully removed.

The star also shared the happy news that she has been given the all-clear. Alongside the video, Davina wrote: "So here it is."

She continued: "Our final brain surgery update. Had the final MRI this week. @brain.surgeon.uk got everything out during surgery , it’s not coming back."

She added: "Thanks so so much to everyone at @onewelbeck and @clevelandclinic. To my mum and @mdlondon for taking such good care of me . To Sarah for being my BFF to my amazing kids. To @brain.surgeon.uk for being the GOAT."

The TV star concluded her heartfelt post saying: "I am so so grateful particularly because I know a lot of people have inoperable tumours and and I know I’m lucky to be able to draw a line under this and move on with my life when so many people can’t. "

She then went on to say: "And I’m just gonna say this one more time. Benign does not mean fine."

Back in February, the mum of three opened up about the fact she refused to be defined by the operation and vowed to move on with her life.

This came after she was interviewed by Dragon's Den star Steven Bartlett, where she emotionally spoke about her health journey.

Taking to Instagram shortly after, she told fans at the time: "My interview about my experiences with having brain surgery goes out today. Steven Bartlett interviews me. "

She explained: "I asked Steven if he would do that because I know him. I feel very safe with him. I was at the Flight Studios office and I feel very safe there. I'm surrounded by love."

She went on to say: "This is a moment of time in my life that I don't want bang on about again and again and again. I don't want to be defined by this operation.

She explained: "I've had this operation, I'm very fortunate and it was a success and I'm gonna now move on with my life. Obviously I am going to talk about the learnings of it and stuff that I've got from it, but I wanted to also kind of document [it]."
