Davina McCall's major career decision as she recovers from brain surgery

The Masked Singer judge Davina McCall was taken to hospital for brain surgery after discovering a 14mm benign tumour a few months ago - as she asked fans to 'pray for me'

Before undergoing the surgery on Friday, 15 November, which spanned over six-hours, Davina pre-recorded an entire series of hour-long interviews to ensure the podcast would still air every week while she recovers. Alongside her partner's caption, an emotional Davina addressed fans in a video, saying: "I was offered a health scan which I thought I was going to ace but it turned out I had benign brain tumour which is very rare, 'three in a million'." It will be Friday morning, and I'm doing 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, three in a million.
