Davina McCall on what she loves most
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Presenter, TV judge, fitness guru and mum of three Davina McCall, 56, has been on our TV screens for over 30 years, but how well do you know her?
1 Colour
Red, but thanks to Trinny Woodall it’s now red with bright pink. I love the colour clash. Like, a big red coat with a bright pink jumper and red trousers? Amazing.
2 Holiday destination
I feel so lucky to be in Europe and near so many amazing places. I love the south of France and Ibiza. I love Italy and I’m going to Sicily next year with my family and my sister’s family from Australia. I’d love to explore Sicily more, and Sardinia. I haven’t been to Corsica and I’d love to go there, and I also want to go to Lisbon. I basically want to do a lot more travelling in Europe.
3 TV SHOW
Am I allowed to say one of my own?
My Mum, Your Dad. I love love generally, but there’s something even more special about midlife love. I’ve also started binge-watching Friends again. I’d forgotten how hilarious it is.
4 Meal
A salmon miso ramen that I make at home. It’s delicious and healthy.
5 Way to pamper yourself
I am the least spa-y person going and I don’t really do facials or anything, but I do like a long bath.
6JOB
I feel very, very lucky in that all the paid work I do for telly ticks all the boxes. Long Lost Family is amazing because I feel like I’m present for a defining moment in someone’s life and it’s a real honour. I love My Mum, Your Dadand filming The Masked Singer is hilarious. I also love doing documentaries and having that platform. It’s a lovely mix.
7 Smell
Molecule 01 perfume. I can’t smell it on myself but every time I get in a lift somebody goes, ‘Oh, someone smells nice.’ And I think to myself, ‘Yeah, it’s me!’
8 Present you’ve been given
Michael [Davina’s partner, hairdresser Michael Douglas] bought a belt buckle that is the exact same one my mum is wearing in an old photo of her and it’s so cool. It’s incredible that he managed to get one because it’s identical to the original and I was so touched.
9 Thing you’ve bought recently
Some over-the-knee boots from AllSaints that are so comfy. They’ve got a block heel so they’re really easy to wear but they look va-va-voom.
