Davina McCall shared a cancer update as she opened up on having “anxiety' ahead of a recent scan.

The TV presenter underwent surgery for breast cancer last October, a diagnosis that came after a procedure to remove a benign brain tumour in 2024.

Appearing on Heart FM on Friday (27 March), the 58-year-old described the moment she discovered she had cancer as “being punched in the face by the universe”.

She told co-host Jamie Theakston, who was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer in 2024, that she recently had a check. “I also got scanxiety, and they were very pleased to tell me there was nothing there."
