Davina McCall has shared her first health update after having an operation for a brain tumour.

Earlier this month, the TV presenter, 57, announced that she would be undergoing brain surgery after she was diagnosed with a “very rare” tumour.

The colloid cyst was found after she was offered a health check-up as part of her menopause advocacy work.

Now, McCall has taken to Instagram to share her first health update following the surgery telling followers that she's recovering.

"But that is something I can work on so I'm really happy about that. I'm writing down everything I'm doing, to keep myself feeling safe."

Captioning the post, McCall went on to thank those who have cared for her while she recovers: "Just want to thank @mdlondon , who gets best boyfriend ever award.
