Davina McCall Cries as Brain Tumor Changed Her Personality: New Podcast Teaser

BBG News

Davina McCall struggled to hold back her emotions while discussing the impact of having a brain tumor removed on her personality, hinting at an upcoming podcast episode where she will be the main focus.

57-year-old television host had to undergo surgery in November due to the discovery of a noncancerous brain tumor, which impacts only about 3 out of every million individuals.

The tumor was detected at a private healthcare facility following a health examination, which she received as a result of participating in a discussion about menopause.

Now, let’s dive into the latest episode of her Begin Again podcast. The Masked Singer host opened up emotionally about her personal health struggles during an honest conversation with Steven Bartlett.

Instead of Davina typically posing the queries, she decided to change roles and invited the Dragon’s Den star to assist in narrating her tale.

In the brief trailer for the upcoming episode, Davina appeared noticeably moved as she shared, “It seemed like this condition was dominating me. The doctors told me I have a non-cancerous brain growth.

After my surgery, as I regained consciousness, Steven inquired about my immediate experiences. To his query, “What transpired upon waking up, post-operation?”, I found myself struggling to recall my exact location, so I replied, “To be honest, I can’t specifically remember where I was.

Expressing her concerns about the possibility of losing her individuality, she went on to say, ‘I guess what I mean is, your personality is like your immediate recall.’

Overwhelmed by emotion, she started sobbing as she exclaimed, “I felt like saying, ‘I’m still alive’. I tried, I tried again.

This week, Davina mentioned: “I’m changing positions this time around. The sheer volume of loving messages and encouragement I’ve received from all of you has left me utterly amazed – it’s absolutely true!

Of course, I had no other choice but to share this story here with you, dear Mr. Steven Bartlett (@steven). While someone else is filling in for me this week.

countdown mode activated! I can hardly contain my excitement as I eagerly await the release of the new episode at 8am this coming Thursday (06.02) – it’s going to be an incredible journey all over again. And with that, I’m off to ‘Begin Again’, and again, and again!

Supporters overflowed the comments section, praising the celebrity by saying: “This will undoubtedly be a moving and heartfelt experience for us, and you serve as an inspiring figure for those impacted by brain tumors. Wishing you endless love and encouragement.

‘Oh god I’m crying and I haven’t even listened yet! Love Davina. What a woman xxx.’ 

‘Couldn’t picture a better pairing to have this monumental conversation.’

‘Can’t wait, you’re incredible @davinamccall and inspire me in so many ways.’

Davina, you’re truly inspiring! Thanks a bunch for sharing what you have. I can’t wait to listen to the whole podcast.

After undergoing a successful surgery to extract the growth, Davina disclosed that her survival seemed like a ‘blessing’, as she pondered over the triumph of her newly launched Begin Again podcast.

At the close of December, the television personality uploaded a video to Instagram. In it, she expressed gratitude towards her fans for their backing during her recent endeavor and reflected upon her personal health odyssey. She candidly confessed that she felt as if she was embarking on a new chapter in her life.

Hey there! I’m thrilled you’re here, tuning into my Begin Again Podcast. Recording each episode has been an absolute joy, and getting to know all of you has only made it more exhilarating!

What I’ve appreciated about creating this podcast is its expansive nature. ‘Begin Again’ can encompass various meanings, such as referring to my recent experience with a life-threatening tumor and its removal.

It seems I’m starting anew, though oddly so, perhaps due to a favorable turn of events. This experience is reminiscent of receiving a fresh start in life. The feeling is extraordinary, like being bestowed with a precious gift.

Previously, the host of Big Brother delved into other instances where starting over is relevant, mentioning situations like a massive setback, job loss, separation through divorce, or an unfortunate accident.

Davina mentioned that she’ll be available to assist individuals who seem stuck in their lives or simply require a motivational boost, as she shared her aspirations and visions for the podcast’s upcoming developments.

After a brief pause for thought, she summed up by saying: ‘Christmas used to be difficult for me, but not anymore. This suggests that fresh starts are possible, and they can indeed happen anytime.’

‘I think I’m gonna be a nightmare next year – I’ve gone very self-reflective!’

Just last month, I made quite an entrance as I returned to my professional life, drawing inspiration from the legendary Devil Wears Prada for a captivating Instagram reel of my own.

The star stepped into Meryl Streep ‘s shoes as she announced her podcast is returning.

As if Miranda Priestly was making her entrance at Runway, a shot captures Davina’s chic loafers striding down the street, causing an uproar in the office with Emily Blunt’s character yelling: “Here she comes! Inform everybody.

As the office team scurries around to prepare everything in anticipation of Davina’s arrival, it was reminiscent of the moment when Stanley Tucci’s character exclaimed: ‘Let’s get ready now!’ followed by a question about who consumed an onion bagel.

With a surprise appearance by podcast co-host Steven Bartlett, Dragon’s Den celebrity promptly steps out of the elevator to give way to Davina, offering an apologetic nod.

Stepping into the podcast studio mere seconds after the team has finished setting everything up, the celebrity settles in and exhales deeply, saying, “I’m here again.

She also captioned the clip: ‘Devil Wears Prada? Nah Davina Wears Prada. The queen is BACK x’.

Fans couldn’t contain their excitement about the skit in the comments section, writing: “This is priceless! But the part where Steven was in the elevator had me rolling with laughter!

Other users expressed their feelings as follows: ‘It’s wonderful when Steven steps out of the elevator’; ‘I’ve rewatched it 64 times, and it’s still fantastic. The team’s work is incredible, and I can hardly believe we get to do this for a living.’

Emphasizes her importance or status, while still maintaining a clear and easy-to-understand sentence structure.

Simplifies the original phrase by removing unnecessary elements and focusing on the main idea, while still maintaining its meaning.

Davina’s podcast focuses on inspiring individuals to view midlife as a period of significant transformation, inviting renowned guests to share their experiences of personal growth and renewal.

‘Davina emphasizes that middle age isn’t the beginning of an end, but rather a great moment for starting over.’
