Davina McCall is "out of the woods" after her brain surgery and is planning to return to work in January.
The TV presenter, 57, had an operation to remove a colloid cyst, which was identified during a scan, and is now recovering at home. Her partner Michael Douglas shared that she's taking it easy and aims to be back on the telly after Christmas.
In an Instagram video, Michael detailed: "She's quite tired at the moment. She sleeps really well at night and goes to bed at 10pm and has a nap in the morning, and sleeps for two or three hours in the afternoon It's the way your brain heals by resting. Her body is naturally forcing her to rest."
He continued: "She's off [work] until mid-January. She's got a lot of time to relax and recuperate. It's been a very, very emotional and quite an incredible experience. We're definitely out of the woods."
Davina previously updated fans after the surgery thanking them for their well-wishes and revealing she's doing well but having troubles with her short-term memory, reports the Daily Star.
She said: "Hi, I just thought I'd check and say an enormous and heartfelt thank you to everybody who's messaged me or been in touch. It's meant the world. It's been mad. And it's just really nice to be back home, I'm on the other side."
