Davina McCall’s partner Michael Douglas has issued a huge update after it was revealed she needed shock brain surgery last week. 

TV presenter Davina, 57, shared the news in an Instagram post on Friday that she had a ‘very rare’ colloid cyst that affects only three in a million people and would need to have an operation. 

Michael has now penned on her Instagram following the surgery: ‘Update folks. 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 She is ‘loving awareness’ ❤️Thank you xx Michael.’

The grid post then read: ‘Update – Mega progress these last 24 hours. Massive relief to see some light breaking through. Thanks for all the good vibes coming in from all angles. Up and Up.’ 

Her fans were quick to comment on the post sending their love and sharing their relief she was okay.  

Over the weekend it was revealed that she was out of surgery and ‘recovering in ICU’.

Sharing another health update following her surgery, Michael said that the operation was ‘text book’ and she was grateful for everyone’s support. 

He wrote: ‘Hey all, Davina is out of surgery and according to the surgeon it was textbook!

‘She’s currently recovering in ICU as a precaution, as you can imagine she’s utterly exhausted.’

Michael added: Thanks so much for all the love from everyone on here… it’s super powerful stuff, we are super grateful. Michael xx’

Davina explained that she received the diagnosis by chance after booking in for a ‘health scan’. 

Davina said in a video: ‘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. 

‘I slightly put my head in the sand for a while, I saw a few neurosurgeons, had quite a lot of opinions and realised I needed to take it out. 

‘It’s quite big, it’s 14mm wide and it needs to come out because if it grows it would be bad. I’m having it removed.’

She added: ‘Say a prayer for me. I’m in good spirits.’

Davina explained that while she was at no immediate risk, doctors were concerned that the tumour could grow larger and cause complications. 

She revealed she had been feeling ‘up and down’ and explained she would be in hospital for at least nine days before coming home. 

While she has known of the diagnosis for a few months, Davina hasn’t allowed it to slow her down and she was pictured last week enjoying a night out at Garnier’s celebration hair mask party.

A colloid cyst is a slow-growing tumour typically found near the center of the brain. The benign growth contains gelatinous material.

They are often asymptomatic and found incidentally during imaging tests. 

If symptoms do occur as the tumour grows, they are commonly reported to include headaches that are most severe in the morning upon waking, nausea and blurry vision, with other key signs including vertigo and double vision.

Most patients present with headaches, although other symptoms including vertigo, memory problems and double vision can occur.

If large enough, a colloid cyst obstructs the movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain which leads to a high risk of sudden death.  

Davina’s partner Michael Douglas uploaded the video for her, captioning the post: ‘Hey everyone. Michael here. She will be ‘off grid’ for a bit while she recovers from this brain operation. 

‘She is in great shape and in very good hands. I’ll do the odd update from her account here for anyone interested. 

‘I’m sure she’ll read all the comments when she’s able to so feel free to send love ❤️ . The support of people is amazingly powerful. Have a great day everyone. Michael xxx’.
