Davina McCall is speaking out about ‘abuse’ after fans share concerns about her weight

Davina McCall has spoken out against the ‘abuse’ she has received from online trolls over her weight.

The British presenter, 56, took to Instagram on Sunday to respond to the ‘frustrating’ reactions she received on social media. “People feel like they can post these things without any consequences because they can post whatever they want.”

Tackling every problem, The Masked Singer presenter said:I am a woman of 1.80 meters and weigh 61 kg. I don’t follow a diet, I exercise, I eat relatively healthy and I like to share that journey with people.

“I’m 57 this year and I’m happy with the way I look, and I feel absolutely (expletive) great.”

Davina’s comments come after she shared a video promoting the M&S Food 1.7 million Instagram followers.

“Maybe think before you post something. If you can’t say anything positive, don’t bother,” Davina responded in her video.

“I’ll probably regret posting this. I never normally do this. I’ll probably leave it here for a while and then delete it…” she added in the caption.

“I love that concept of a second spring,” she said. “I suppose it’s a way to help us overcome the empty nest, to understand that letting go of one thing is the birth of something else. And once you let go of your children, and they start living their lives, living, you can start thinking, ‘Well, what do I want to do with this next act?'”.
