Davina McCall bravely shows off scar after brain surgery to remove tumour

Davina McCall has taken to social media to share an image of the scare on her head after undergoing surgery to remove a benign brain tumour

Davina McCall has shown her scar following brain tumour surgery after having her first haircut after going under the knife.

The 57-year-old TV presenter shared the experience of her trim by hairdresser boyfriend Michael Douglas on an Instagram Livestream during Saturday evening. It was her first haircut since having surgery to remove a benign tumour on her brain.

The TV star is recovering well since being hospitalised and she was full of smiles as she had a trim from Michael, who she has been dating since 2019, after first meeting him for a haircut 20 years ago.

The stylist explained in the clip how he was going to cut Davina's hair and talked through those watching the techniques he was using, as well as a number of tips.

In the clip, the stylist explained how he was going to cut the star's hair and talked fans though the process, showing off his techniques and giving tips to watching fans. During this, he showed off the scar from Davina's surgery and explained that she had lost a lot of hair after having children. Michael added that Davina had quite thick hair but there was not as much of it and the TV star admitted that she "used to have lots of hair but I had babies".

Davina said about her scar that "it's all healed, it's a bit crusty," as she pointed to it and said "we lost a big chunk here" as she highlighted the lack of hair in the area. Later, Davina winces as Michael pulls down her hair and he apologises before saying to the camera: "I was a bit rough there - she normally likes it rough." Davina immediately responded, saying: "Michael Douglas you Share naughty".

At the end of the video, Davina compliments her boyfriend for the good job that he had done with her hair and joked that she should "have brain surgery more often".

Earlier in the week, Davina took to social media to share that she was celebrating another milestone following the surgery. The ITV star filmed herself with a huge smile, and she said: "Hi just a quick update to let everyone know that I'm doing well. And the last couple of days I've really, really, really felt miles better and I've come in to London today to celebrate one of Michael's boy's birthdays, so that's lovely."

She added: "And just also wanted to say that the picture of me in the wig was from when we recorded The Masked Singer earlier on this year, it was before my operation. I was fit as a fiddle then, I'm still recovering right now and I'm planning on getting back to work in about a month."

Davina was referring to her appearance in recent promo pics for The Masked Singer, in which she looked almost unrecognisable without her famous long brunette locks. Instead, the presenter rocked a choppy blonde hairdo, with the platinum strands styled in a very short pixie cut.
