TAKING A BREAK TO RECOVER FROM SHOCK BRAIN SURGERY DAVINA MCCALL THANKS LOVED ONES AND REASSURES FANS AS SHE RECUPERATES AT HOME

Davina McCall has said she is feeling "stronger and stronger" every day as she recovers from surgery to remove a "very rare" benign brain tumour.

Nearly two weeks after the operation, the TV presenter, 57, said she was "improving every day" and sleeping a lot to aid her recovery.

Sharing a video on Instagram, the mother of three told her followers that she was "feeling much better now" and was being "brilliantly looked after" by her boyfriend Michael Douglas and stepmother Gaby McCall.

She also revealed that she was recovering her short-term memory, which had been affected by the procedure.

"I'm now just trying to sleep a lot and get better. My short-term memory is really improving a lot every day, and it has been an example to me of how much sleep helps me recover from everything.

"So if I feel a bit confused or I'm struggling to concentrate, I just go to sleep and I wake up completely renewed and refreshed, so I know that my brain needs lots of sleep.
