Davina McCall says she has short-term memory problems after brain tumour surgery | Ents & Arts News

Davina McCall has said that her short-term memory is “a bit remiss” as she recovers from brain tumour surgery.

The visibly emotional TV presenter posted a video of herself in bed as she updated her Instagram followers on her condition, saying it had been a “mad” time.

She expressed an “enormous heartfelt thank you” to people who had messaged after the 57-year-old revealed this month she had a benign brain tumour, a colloid cyst, which she described as “very rare”.

“My short-term memory is a bit remiss,” she said. “But that is something I can work on, so I’m really happy about that. I’m writing everything down, to keep myself feeling safe.”

She added: “It’s just really nice to be back home, I’m on the other side.”

When she shared her diagnosis, she said chances of having it were “three in a million,” and she had discovered it several months previously after a company offered her a health scan in return for giving a menopause talk.
