It also carries an eye-grabbing large message at the top, reading: ‘SAVE YOUR LIFE in the time it takes to get changed.’

In her video message announcing the diagnosis, Davina stressed her cancer had been caught ‘very very early’ but would still require five days of radiotherapy in January as an ‘insurance policy’ to remain cancer free.

She said: ‘So I underwent a biopsy and it was indeed breast cancer and I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago.’

Davina went on to discuss the results of her surgery and how doctors had now given her the all clear.

The former Big Brother host went on: ‘It was very very small so I got it very very early, which is incredibly lucky, but I am so relieved that I have had it removed and that it hasn’t spread.’

She thanked the doctors and nurses as well as her family and fiancé Michael Douglas before admitting: ‘I was very angry when I found out, but I let go of that and I feel in a much more positive place now.’

Davina captioned the clip: ‘The message here, is know your boobs. Notice any changes. Don’t procrastinate. Get your free checkups. And never ignore a niggle. Sending out huge love.’

In September it was revealed Davina was engaged to her partner Michael Douglas

During an appearance on Loose Women in September, Davina revealed how the experience left her unable to stop crying.

When asked if she fears for her health, Davina responded: ‘I don’t feel worried about that, but I do have this thing where I can’t stop crying.’

Visibly emotional, the mother-of-three fought back tears, and her voice became shaky as she continued: ‘So, I cry a lot when I talk about it.

‘I think it’s about trauma. It was traumatic – the experience – but I feel amazing now. I really do. I am so happy. I can’t believe I’m here with you.

‘Everything is a joy, getting up in the morning, having a coffee, I’m still in the joys of it. I want to put it behind me, I feel great. I want to stop crying.’

In September it was revealed Davina was engaged to her partner Michael Douglas.

She was friends for years with celebrity hairdresser Michael, 47, but they only began dating after she finalised her divorce with ex-husband Matthew Robertson in April 2018.

They went public with their relationship in 2018 and by January 2023, Michael had moved in with her – and now, the smitten couple are set to tie the knot.

To ensure her loved ones were the first to know, Davina managed to keep the engagement private and didn’t even tell ITV bosses.
