Just months after being given the all-clear after her brain tumour surgery, Davina McCall has revealed she's been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The TV personality shared that she discovered a lump in her breast while filming The Masked Singer. She was diagnosed with breast cancer six weeks ago and has since undergone successful surgery.

In a candid clip shared on Saturday, Davina said: 'I just wanted to tell you I have had breast cancer, I found a lump a few weeks ago and it came and went.'

'But then when I was filming The Masked Singer, the show Lorraine put signs on the back of their toilet doors saying "check your breasts" and every time I went for a wee I did that, and it was still there,' Davina continued.

'So I underwent a biopsy and it was indeed breast cancer and I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago.'

The former Big Brother host said she caught it 'very, very early' and doctors have now given her the all-clear.

'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,' she said.

Despite being given the all-clear, Davina will undergo five days of radiotherapy in January as an 'insurance policy' to remain cancer-free.

Davina thanked medical professionals, her family, and her fiancé Michael Douglas, before admitting: 'I was very angry when I found out, but I let go of that and I feel in a much more positive place now.'

Hoping to inspire her followers to check their breasts, Davina wrote: '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.'
