'Davina facing long road back to health...like I had'

OPERA singer Russell Watson has sent his support to Davina McCall as he recalled his own "tough" recovery from two brain tumour operations.

Davina, 57, had surgery a week ago for a "very rare" benign brain growth, known as a colloid cyst.

Her partner, hairdresser Michael Douglas, 49, revealed afterwards the procedure had been "textbook" but the TV host was "utterly exhausted".

Loveliest

Tenor Russell, 57, had a tumour on his pituitary gland at the base of his brain removed in 2006 and needed an emergency op in 2007 when a second growth was found.
