Davina McCall is reportedly planning an intimate winter wedding in the New Year to fiancé Michael Douglas after her recent breast cancer diagnosis.

The TV presenter, who had brain surgery to remove a benign tumour in November last year, confirmed earlier this month that she had found a lump in her breast whilst checking herself.

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.

Now Davina and partner Michael, who got engaged in Ibiza in July after six years together, don’t want to waste anytime in getting married and plan to tie the knot in the New Year.

A source New! magazine: ‘After all she’s been through Davina feels she can’t take anything for granted. Not just one, but two health scares really send home the poignant message of who and what really matters.

‘Neither Michael or Davina see the point in waiting. They’re both in their fifties Davina has been married before and they want to make it happen.’

The couple are hoping for a quiet Christmas before an intimate wedding in 2026 with only ‘close friends’ in attendance who have ‘helped Davina’ in recent months.

The source added: ‘She’s always said she wanted a big wedding but I think this is going to be quite small. She doesn’t want too much of a fuss. It’ll be focusing on the couple and their love for each other. They’ll have a big showbiz party later but right now they want to get married at the start of next year.’

Michael, a celebrity hairstylist who originally met Davina while they worked together on reality show Big Brother, proposed during a romantic summer break in Ibiza.

‘It was a total surprise,’ she told HELLO! ‘Michael is very funny and had spent the past two years getting down on bended knee and tying an imaginary shoelace on my finger.

Davina was previously married to Andrew Leggett in 1997 and was married to second husband Matthew Robertson for 17 years before splitting in 2017.

She has three children with Pet Rescue presenter Matthew, Holly, 23, Tilly, 21, and son Chester, 19.

Addressing her breast cancer diagnosis with Instagram followers earlier this month, Davina admitted she found the lump whilst checking herself after seeing posters for Lorraine Kelly’s lifesaving Change + Check campaign at ITV studios.

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.

‘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.

‘I was very angry when I found out, but I let go of that and I feel in a much more positive place now.’

She 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.’

The star had initially revealed her diagnosis during a charity her Dine With Davina charity event which left the gathered crowd gasping.

She said: ‘Lorraine Kelly had put signs on the backs of all the doors saying ‘check your breasts’ and every time I went for a wee I did that.

‘It was still there, and then one morning I saw myself in the mirror and thought ‘I’m going to get that looked at’.’

Meanwhile, Channel 4 have revealed how Davina will be front and centre of their Stand Up To Cancer campaign this year.

On Friday, December 12, the presenter will front Cancer Clinic: Live, which will broadcast direct from inside a special one-off cancer clinic at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, as viewers meet patients and their families whose cancer journeys have been followed for several weeks from diagnosis to results, as they continue through treatment.

For the first time on UK television, audiences will see clinical consultations with cancer specialists from Addenbrooke’s and Royal Papworth Hospitals unfold in real time.

Davina will also host the live climax of this year’s charity appeal alongside The Last Leg’s Adam Hill, with stars such as Clare Balding, Meera Syal, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Jessie J, Rosie Jones, Hugh Bonneville and Hannah Fry all supporting the campaign.

Davina announced in November 2024 that she had been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour.

After a gruelling six-hour operation to remove the 14mm cyst from her brain, she revealed she was cancer-free.
