Davina McCall reveals she's been given the all-clear following brain surgery
Davina McCall has revealed that she's been given the all-clear following her brain surgery.
The Masked Singer judge confirmed in November that she had undergone surgery to remove a benign brain tumour, and has been updating fans on her progress since then.
And in this latest Instagram post, she shared what she called her "final" update about her tumour.
"So here it is. Our final brain surgery update," she wrote. "Had the final MRI this week. [Brain surgeon Kevin O'Neill] got everything out during surgery, it's not coming back.
"Thanks so so much to everyone at [OneWelbeck] and [Cleveland Clinic]. To my mum and [partner Michael Douglas] for taking such good care of me. To Sarah for being my BFF to my amazing kids. To @brain.surgeon.uk for being the GOAT.

"I am so so grateful particularly because I know a lot of people have inoperable tumours and and I know I'm lucky to be able to draw a line under this and move on with my life when so many people can't.
"And I'm just gonna say this one more time. Benign does not mean fine."
The post also included a video in which Davina and Michael repeated what was written in the caption, as well as sharing a scan of what the tumour looked like.

Recently, Davina appeared on Comic Relief and called the whole experience "quite possibly the hardest thing I've ever been through", and has also been open about how the surgery had affected her memory.
Meanwhile, Davina was announced last month to be the host of new reality show Stranded on Honeymoon Island, which will come to BBC One and iPlayer later this year. at digitalspy.com£99.00 at Amazon£328.00 at amazon.co.uk at Audible£49.99 at amazon.co.uk£18.99 at amazon.co.uk at at EE at at three.co.uk at at digitalspy.com£54.98 at amazon.co.uk£91.40 at amazon.co.uk at Amazon at digitalspy.com at argos.co.uk at sky.com at EE at very.co.uk£29.98 at amazon.co.uk at ebay.co.uk£19.00 at Game at Sky Mobile at EE at Pandora at amazon.co.uk at digitalspy.com£219.00 at ao.com at sky.com at amazon.co.uk at at Pandora£1200.00 at Game at amazon.co.uk at Three£123.99 at amazon.co.uk at applemusic.apple at argos.co.uk at amazon.co.uk£259.99 at nintendo.co.uk at argos.co.uk£79.99 at very.co.uk£1199.00 at AO at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at at £199.99 at Fitbit£49.99 at amazon.co.uk$15.00 at digitalspy.com at amazon.co.uk at converse.com£79.99 at very.co.uk£39.99 at amazon.co.uk at argos.co.uk£39.99 at amazon.co.uk at £44.99 at amazon.co.uk£24.00 at ee.co.uk at drmartens.com£1299.00 at John Lewis at ebay.co.uk at digitalspy.com at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk£119.00 at currys.co.uk£39.97 at amazon.co.uk at £90.00 at ao.com£44.99 at amazon.co.uk at digitalspy.com at amazon.co.uk at sky.com at argos.co.uk£184.00 at John Lewis & Partners£157.00 at John Lewis at digitalspy.com at sky.com at Amazon£6.62 at amazon.co.uk£15.99 at Amazon at Fitbit£119.99 at amazon.co.uk£32.99 at Amazon£184.00 at John Lewis & Partners at Three at amazon.co.uk at drmartens.com$29.85 at shopto.net at sky.com at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at digitalspy.com at Apple at johnlewis.com at Three at sky.com£189.99 at sharkclean.co.uk£21.99 at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk£293.81 at amazon.co.uk at £699.00 at amazon.co.uk£49.99 at Amazon at digitalspy.com at three.co.uk at disneyplus.com at amazon.co.uk at Audible at EE£49.99 at amazon.co.uk£249.00 at John Lewis at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at drmartens.com£379.99 at sharkclean.co.uk at digitalspy.com at Apple at digitalspy.com at cdkeys.com at johnlewis.com at at £32.99 at Amazon£449.00 at John Lewis at argos.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at sky.com at EE£379.00 at ao.com at Apple at digitalspy.com£229.00 at John Lewis at at amazon.co.uk$365.00 at Microsoft at disneyplus.com at amazon.co.uk£79.00 at Samsung at Three£449.00 at John Lewis at amazon.co.uk at argos.co.uk£79.98 at amazon.co.uk at digitalspy.com£79.00 at Samsung at crunchyroll£1199.00 at AO£22.00 at Amazon$365.00 at Microsoft£79.98 at amazon.co.uk£92.98 at amazon.co.uk£299.00 at Microsoft at digitalspy.com at John Lewis & Partners at amazon.co.uk at digitalspy.com at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at disneyplus.com£269.99 at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk£369.00 at John Lewis£39.99 at Amazon at argos.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at disneyplus.com at John Lewis & PartnersShop now£16.00 at Microsoft at amazon.co.uk at disneyplus.com at very.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk£399.00 at John Lewis at amazon.co.uk at at digitalspy.com£6.65 at amazon.co.uk at very.co.uk at amazon.co.uk£199.00 at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at at amazon.co.uk at digitalspy.com at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at sky.com at sky.com at at amazon.co.uk$14.00 at sky.com at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk at amazon.co.uk

She cashed in her chips. Lay's introduced a new chip flavor chosen from tens of thousands of suggestions in its annual $1 million contest Tuesday. 4 The 'Do Us A Flavor' contest winner was the Bacon Grilled Cheese. The Bacon Grilled Cheese, created by Paula George from Okla., beat out more than 70,000 other submissions in the 'Do Us A Flavor' contest and will be sold at grocery stores nationwide. 'Submitted by Paula George from Sapulpa, Okla., this winning flavor is a savory, nostalgic ode combining two of everyone's favorites – bacon & grilled cheese!' the snack brand stated on its website. 4 Paula George's winning chip idea was inspired by her late father. Lays 'George drew inspiration from her late father's bacon grilled cheese recipe and hopes the flavor will bring fans a similar memory of a delicious favorite meal, enjoyed on the cheesy crunch of a Lay's potato chip.' Fans voted on the contest's three finalists from April to June. The two runner-ups pitched a Valentina & Lime and Wavy Korean-Style Fried Chicken flavors. 4 The other two finalists were Valentina & Lime and the Wavy Korean-Style Fried Chicken. Lays/Instagram While they lost out on the grand prize, the runner-ups will still be given $500,000 each. Their flavors will also be featured in grocery stores, but only for a limited time. 'I am so honored to be named the Lay's Do Us A Flavor winner. Seeing Lay's Bacon Grilled Cheese flavored potato chips brought to life was a dream come true in itself, George said, as reported by News 9. 'And knowing that thousands of Lay's fans across the country tried and loved it, just as much as I did, fills me with immense joy and gratitude for this opportunity,' she added. 4 The 'Do Us A Flavor' contest started in 2012. Bloomberg News The snack company's annual contest started in 2012 and boasts a class of oddball winners from diverse flavor palates including the since-discontinued Cheesy Garlic Bread and Southern Biscuits and Gravy. Some previous winners have returned as limited-time offers, often around the time of the contest. In October, Balenciaga made a $1,800 handbag that looked like a replica of a giant Lay's potato chip bag. Some people, though, just like having an opportunity to be creative and don't care about monetary prizes. Last year, the city of Madison, Wisco. hosted a contest to name its new snowplow. The 3,000-odd residents who turned up to vote eventually settled on 'Rosie the Rubbisher,' a play on World War II-era Norman Rockwell icon Rosie the Riveter.

Anne Burrell reflected on settling down with her husband after ‘living the rock star chef life' before her death
Anne Burrell shared insight into her life months before her tragic death on Tuesday. The celebrity chef was found unresponsive in the shower at her home in Brooklyn, New York before being pronounced dead at the scene at age 55, police said. Just three months prior, Burrell went on Tori Spelling's 'misSPELLING' podcast, where she dove into marrying her husband Stuart Claxton in 2021. The couple had met on the dating app Bumble in 2018. 8 Anne Burrell in 2017. Phil & Anne's Good Time Lounge / Facebook The 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star asked the 'Worst Cooks in America' host if she purposely waited to settle down. 'From when I was a kid, I don't know why, but I always was like, I am not getting married until I feel like I have something in life to share,' Burrell explained, 'until I have accomplished stuff.' 'I was living my best life!' she added about her 20s and 30s. 'I was like, living the rock star chef life. I was working a lot, and I had a great social life.' 8 Anne Burrell on Food Network. Instagram/@chefbeaumac Then, one day, Burrell's perspective shifted. 'I just started to feel like, all right, you're getting a little old to keep on doing this,' she recalled. Along with a husband, Burrell also gained a stepson Javier. 'Kids were never on my radar, really,' the cook confessed. 'I love being an aunt. I have nieces and nephews. So I'm like, [being a stepmom] is the perfect amount of parenting for me.' 8 Rachael Ray and Anne Burrell. rachaelray/Instagram Over the years, Burrell has opened up about her relationship, recently telling the Daily Mail in April, 'October will be four years. It seems like it's been four minutes. I don't know if it's a honeymoon [phase] but I feel like it's settled into married life days which I really enjoy.' In honor of Valentine's Day in 2022, the step-mom gushed over her other half, penning, 'You make me the happiest girl in the world!!! I love you to the moon and back my sweet!!!' As for meeting Mr. Right, Burrell once admitted Claxton also felt the instant spark between them. 8 Anne Burrell in 2017 at the Good Time Lounge. Anne Burrell 'I don't know if we had both thought of marriage, but we both were like, 'Oh, yeah, this is something,'' Burrell told People in 2020. ''This is really going to be real and this is going to turn into something.'' 'Once you get to be a woman of 50 years old, you don't really think that marriage is going to be on the plate for you,' she detailed. 'I was always really focused on my career and marriage was never a huge thing in my life that I was looking for. Then when I met Stuart, my opinion about all that changed.' Giving followers glimpses into their lives over the years, Burrell posted a month after their wedding, in a 2021 Thanksgiving post, 'A new home, a wedding, a stepson, great family, great friends, good health, great fans and just so much more!!! Lots of love to all!!!' 8 Anne Burrell at the Austin Food and Wine Festival. Scott Moore/Shutterstock Two years after their nuptials, the couple was still as in love as ever. 'I have to say, I love being married,' Burrell told People in 2023. 'We're together all the time because Stuart works from home. It's the being together all the time, but it's also the adventure together.' 'It's been wonderful, to say the least,' echoed Claxton. 'Anne and I hadn't lived together before we moved in and got married, so it's been a whole adventure, but very lovely at the same time.' The businessman has yet to address Burrell's death, however, her family confirmed the news in a statement to People on Tuesday. 8 Anne Burrell in 2015. Larry Marano/Shutterstock 'Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered,' they shared. 'Anne's light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.' A cause of death has yet to be revealed. That same day, police officers shared that EMS 'responded and pronounced her deceased on scene,' sharing that the 911 call was originally for a reported cardiac arrest. 8 Anne Burrell at Grand Tasting Village in Miami, Florida. Gcaballero/Southbeachphoto/Shutterstock On Thursday, sources told The Post Burell's body was found next to dozens of pills. The author's death is still an ongoing investigation. Burrell is best known for hosting 'Worst Cooks in America' on Food Network for 27 seasons, from 2010 to 2024. After her passing, a representative from Food Network shared with The Post: 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring. Our thoughts are with Anne's family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.' 8 Anne Burrell and her husband Stuart Claxton. chefanneburrell/Instagam During her time at the Food Network, Burrell became close pals with Rachael Ray — who judged 'Worst Cooks' from 2015 to 2017 — and fellow chef Alex Guarnaschelli. Both ladies paid tribute to Burrell, with Ray, 56, writing in part, 'I'll miss her friendship deeply. Everyone whose life she touched will miss her. Sending love to Stuart and everyone who knew and loved Anne. We've lost someone truly special.' Guarnaschelli, 55, noted in her own post, 'Make this moment about her. She'd want you to go out, raise a glass, sing karaoke (including this Sia song–one of her favorite 'Worst Cooks' warm up songs) and be able to say, like she does, #ilovewhatido –so do it for her. In her honor.'
