Davina McCall, despite hosting several dating shows, says she is unlikely to marry again, sweetly confessing that she wouldn’t change a thing about her relationship with Michael Douglas. The TV host is about to host bold new dating series, Stranded On Honeymoon for the BBC.
She says of her celebrity hairdresser partner Michael: “We’re in the honeymoon period even after all these years, exactly. I am really, really…I couldn’t be more happy. And sometimes there’s an idea of, why change anything?”
It comes after Davina made a brave death admission after undergoing major brain surgery.
She confessed that she feels no need to get married again, saying: “Every time you go out with anybody, everybody’s like, ‘Are you going to get married? Are you going to get married?’.
“It’s not important anymore. I am just really happy, and I am just so happy to be so happy. And after the operation, everything is rose-tinted. I am so appreciative to be here. You know what I mean? It’s unbelievable.”
Davina was married twice and is mum to Holly, 23, Tilly, 21, and 18-year-old Chester.
Her last marriage to Matthew Robertson ended after 17 years and she went public with her new relationship with Michael in 2019, reports the Mirror.
By her own admission, Davina was “very honest about having a brain tumour” last year and shared the process from the diagnosis to her November operation to remove it, and finally the all clear earlier this year.

While she herself won’t be getting married, her new show Stranded On Honeymoon Island features some speed dating before six lucky couples get matched up and take a leap of faith for love.
They are taken to the Philippines for a wedding and then a honeymoon on a remote beach to see if they have potentially found a partner for life.
Davina said of the new show: “I am picky about what I do, and I do turn down lots of work. So this had to have something different to it and it didn’t disappoint. That was what was so nice about it.
“They see who they’re marrying at the wedding, and then they go to their stranded coves. And they are on six separate coves on an island, but they can’t see anybody. They’re completely alone.
“And then they can meet up after a while to meet the other couples. Everybody comes together. But then that causes its own set of problems as well because it’s like, ‘Oh, I remember you from speed dating’.
“So it’s really good. It’s gripping. It will make you laugh a lot. It’ll also make you cross your legs and want to pick up a cushion and put it in front of your face.
“But it’ll also make you cry because it’s really cute at times. I think the other thing that I loved at the end of it was that we’d all learnt something.”
Stranded On Honeymoon Island starts on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer on Wednesday September 3 at 9pm.
