DAVINA McCall broke down in tears at her first public appearance following major brain surgery. The 57-year-old presenter underwent an operation to remove a benign tumour last month. Davina was diagnosed with a benign but very rare tumour purely by chance after being offered a scan a few months ago.

The Masked Singer star has now made her first public appearance since her operation. It came when she attended an event at All Saints Church, Fulham to support her neurosurgeon Kevin O'Neill, along with her boyfriend Michael Douglas. Taking to the stage to make her speech, an emotional Davina said: "I'm crying already, that didn't go well.".

Going on, she said: "I know lots of you here are on your own brain tumour journey and many of you have lost loved ones to a brain tumour. "I lost my sister to a brain tumour in 2012 and my ex father in law a year ago.". Thanking Davina for her attendance at the event, Brain Tumour Research Campaign posted: "What a truly magical Christmas celebration evening! A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us in making this event so special.'.

"Our evening began with our incredible Chairman, Kevin O’Neill setting the tone with his warmth and passion. "We were then moved by the inspiring words of the wonderful Davina McCall who shared her personal story with such courage and grace. "Her message about the importance of funding for brain tumour research truly resonated with us all. Thank you, Davina, for being such a powerful voice for this cause.".
