TV presenter Davina McCall is out of intensive care and has made an “enormous leap forward” in the last 24 hours, following her surgery to remove a rare brain tumour.<\/p>\n

In an update on her Instagram account her partner Michael Douglas said: “Thanks so much to all the well wishers. She really has made an enormous leap forward in the last 24 hours. She is out of ICU.”<\/p>\n

The 57-year-old previously posted a video on Instagram, to say she had been diagnosed with a type of benign tumour called a colloid cyst.<\/p>\n

A benign tumour is not cancerous, but such cysts tend to grow slowly, according to the Brainstrust charity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Massive relief to see some light coming though. Thanks for all the good vibes coming in from all angles,” Mr Douglas continued in the post to McCall’s 1.9 million followers.<\/p>\n

Ahead of her surgery McCall had explained how the tumour had been found by chance.<\/p>\n

“A few months ago, I did a menopause talk for a company and they offered me a health scan in return, which I thought I was going to ace,” she said in a video posted on Friday. <\/p>\n

“But it turned out I had a benign brain tumour called a colloid cyst, which is very rare – three in a million.”<\/p>\n

Colloid cysts typically form in a fluid-filled cavity in the centre of the brain, and are themselves filled with fluid, the Brains Trust says.<\/p>\n

They account for less than 2% of all primary brain tumours, and the rate of growth and symptoms can vary from person to person, according to the charity.<\/p>\n

McCall explained a surgeon would perform a procedure called a craniotomy, where part of the skull is removed to take out the tumour. <\/p>\n

Mr Douglas previously said the operation had been “textbook”. <\/p>\n

McCall’s long TV presenting career includes Channel 4’s Big Brother, ITV’s Long Lost Family, and My Mum, Your Dad, along with Comic and Sport Relief for the BBC.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year she won a special recognition award at the National TV Awards, for her contributions to the TV industry over her career.<\/p>\n

She also campaigns on menopause awareness, after her changing hormones prompted her to highlight women’s experiences with her work.<\/p>\n

Last year she won the top prize at the British Book Awards for 2022’s Menopausing, which she co-wrote with Dr Naomi Potter.<\/p>\n

The so-called “Davina effect” saw a huge increase in demand for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after she made a Channel 4 documentary, Sex, Myths and Menopause, in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
