Davina McCall has revealed she feels like she's been given a 'second chance at life' after surviving a life-threatening brain tumour. The TV presenter, 57, was recently forced to have surgery after doctors discovered a benign tumour on her brain that affects three in a million people.

The tumour was picked up at a private clinic after she was offered a health check after taking part in a talk about menopause. And weeks after a successful operation to remove the growth, Davina told how her survival feels like a 'gift' while reflecting on the success of her new Begin Again podcast.

'What I've enjoyed about recording this podcast is, it's so so broad. Begin Again can mean anything, it can mean something similar to what I've just been through, which is having a life-threatening tumour and it being removed. 'I feel like I've begun again, I mean in the weirdest sense, I guess because I've had a positive outcome. It's like being given a second chance at life. It feels amazing, almost as if I've been given a gift.'.
