When Davina McCall tells OK! she’s “having the time of her life”, we don’t doubt it for a second.
As we catch up with the radiant presenter, it’s obvious from the get-go that she’s happier than ever. She has another exciting new TV show on her hands with pet project My Mum, Your Dad, and has been working on her own fashion collection. But we suspect it’s finding true love that’s been putting the extra pep in her step.
Following the breakdown of her 17-year marriage to Matthew Robertson in 2017, Davina has found love again with celebrity hairstylist Michael Douglas. And although we might see the pair on-screen on Celebrity Gogglebox and at red carpet events – most recently the NTAs, when Michael, 49, lovingly fixed her hair before pictures – the ins and outs of their relationship is yet to make headlines.
The star exclusively reveals to OK! that “keeping my love life private” is key to her new-found happiness. “I give so much of myself to the public that I need something just for me,” she tells us, adding that being a little guarded over her relationship helps “keep the magic”.
“Michael is so funny, he’s just amazing,” she says. “It’s nice to do things together like walking the red carpet at the NTAs, and it’s not like we’re purposefully trying to hide away from anyone. But when you get into a couple, people start asking you questions about the nitty-gritty and I just don’t want to share that.”
She makes it clear there’s no hidden agenda or skeletons in their closet, while squashing any hopes for those wanting a juicy piece of gossip.
