Davina McCall looks incredible as she shows off six pack in latest workout after insisting she's 'not scared of dying anymore' following brain tumour
The TV presenter, 56, stunned fans on social media on Saturday after posting a clip of her latest training session, flaunting a sculpted six-pack.
Wearing a white crop top, blue shorts and gym trainers, Davina powered through a tough cardio and abs session in her home gym – flexing her muscles and grinning as she smashed her reps with ease.
The fitness fanatic has always been a champion for staying active, but this latest glimpse proved she has come back even stronger after her recent health scare.
In November, the Masked Singer star revealed she was diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour and underwent a six-hour operation.
Speaking about the terrifying ordeal at the time, Davina admitted her tumour - whom she called Jeffrey - made her 'angry', but now, she is showing what resilience really looks like – and her fans are lapping it up.
Taking to the comment section they wrote: 'You can grate cheese on those abs'
'Absolute powerhouse'; Look at those legs'; 'Awesome Davina. Looking strong and AMAZING'; 'You are such an inspiration Davina'.
Earlier this month the star insisted she's 'not scared of dying anymore' following her life-changing brain tumour.
Speaking at Fearne Cotton 's Happy Place Festival at Gunnersby Park Davina explained how it has shifted her perspective on life.
'I am not afraid of dying anymore and it was the biggest journey of my life from August 2023 to November 2024', she admitted.
'I want to help people on their deathbed on my Begin Again podcast now so they can say "I have lived the life I wanted and not think things like "I wish I had not done that job. I wished I had not stayed in this relationship".
'Sometimes I feel like there are other powers at play. All the fear that comes around the word "tumour". Fearne and I understood each other at that time.
'I mean, it's a really amazing place to get to, not being scared of dying. I think having no regrets and feeling like you are living fully in the life you want to be in, it's quite rare.'
Earlier in the year Davina admitted her tumour - whom she called Jeffrey - made her feel 'angry', but now, she is showing what resilience really looks like - and her fans are lapping it up
Davina has long credited regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle with helping her stay strong – both mentally and physically.
Speaking to The Telegraph earlier this year, Davina explained that she actually only works out for half an hour, four times a week as she said: 'People are like, 'What? Oh, we thought you were doing two hours, five days a week!'
'It's because I post snippets of my half-hour workouts and everyone thinks I'm doing it all the time.'
Admitting she used to spend more time in the gym, Davina added: 'I worked out for longer in my 30s because I didn't realise I could get the same results while doing less.
'If you work out efficiently for half an hour, you'll get as much as from a sloppy 45 minutes to an hour. I'm always time poor: three kids, work, meetings, there's always stuff to do, and I don't have an hour and a half or two hours to work out every day.'
Revealing her current workout regime, Davina explained she goes to her home gym after her morning coffee for a 30 minute workout two to three times a week.
Focusing on strength training she uses her own health platform Davina Own Goals and follows one of the many workouts on there.
The star uses 0.5kg weighted gloves for arm exercises as well as 5kg or 6kg weights and will also wear a weighted vest for full body exercises like squats.
She also likes to go out on a run once a week as she revealed she has been doing Couch to 5k to get her fitness back after her surgery.
Mixing in some intervals, Davina will add in some minute-long sprints to her runs to help her cardiovascular system.
And weeks after a successful operation to remove the growth, Davina revealed her survival felt like a 'gift' while she reflected on the success of her new Begin Again podcast.
Taking to Instagram at the end of December, the TV star recorded a video as she thanked fans for their support over her latest project, while also looking back on her own health journey as she admitted she feels like she's 'begun again'.
She explained: 'Thanks for joining me on my Begin Again podcast. I've loved recording this podcast, and I've loved meeting everybody.
'What I've enjoyed about recording this podcast is, it's so so broad. Begin Again can mean anything, it can mean something similar to what I've just been through, which is having a life-threatening tumour and it being removed.
'I feel like I've begun again, I mean in the weirdest sense, I guess because I've had a positive outcome. It's like being given a second chance at life. It feels amazing, almost as if I've been given a gift.'

Admissions jump at Everyman cinema chain despite ‘challenging' backdrop
Cinema chain Everyman has revealed that sales surged by more than a fifth over the past year following a jump in admissions and higher ticket prices. Boss Alex Scrimgeour hailed the performance over the first half of 2025, saying it reflected the 'successful execution' of Everyman's growth strategy. Shares in the company rose in early trading on Monday morning as a result. The company said it is trading in line with its forecasts for the full year, despite a 'challenging economic environment'. It told shareholders on Monday that group revenues rose by 21% to £56.5 million for the half-year to July 3, compared with a year earlier. This was supported by a 15% jump in admissions to 2.2 million for the half-year. It was among cinema groups to have been boosted by major new releases over the period including Thunderbolts, A Minecraft Movie and Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning. The chain said the average price paid for a ticket rose 6% to £12.46, while there was also a 5.9% increase on the amount spent by customers on food and drinks. Everyman currently runs 48 cinemas across the UK, after growing further with the opening of its latest venue in Brentford in March. It plans one further opening this year at The Whiteley in Bayswater next month. The UK's fourth biggest cinema operator said it will open two more venues next year and highlighted a 'strong pipeline' of future developments as it continues with expansion efforts. Mr Scrimgeour, the former Cote restaurant boss, said: 'Our performance in the first half reflects the successful execution of our strategy, with growth across all key metrics and ongoing delivery of our measured expansion programme. 'This is driven by Everyman's unique brand of high-quality, experience-led cinema. 'We look forward to building on this momentum in the second half of the year.' Shares in the company were 6.6% higher in early trading.

I moaned at my neighbour for his security camera looking into my garden & he add ANOTHER one -it feels like Big Brother
DO you think you've got neighbours from hell? Well, prepare to be stunned as a frustrated man gets candid on his latest 'creepy' ordeal. A stunned man from the UK has recently revealed that after relaxing in his garden, he noticed his neighbour had a security camera which was pointing directly into his outside space. 2 2 Annoyed with the ' nosy ' behaviour, the young man who posts online under the username 'Scooobz 13', confronted the guy next door. But much to his surprise, rather than simply move the camera or point it in another direction, his ' neighbour from hell' decided to install a second camera. Posting on social media, the content creator shared a short clip as he sat in his garden, giving his followers a close-up look at his neighbour's motion detector device. Alongside the clip, the man attached an audio that said: 'Ask our neighbour to respect our privacy - his solution? More surveillance. 'Welcome to the reality show I didn't sign up for.' Not only this, but the man, who feels like he's on Big Brother, then wrote: 'When you politely ask your neighbour not to film in your garden, so he naturally installs a second one.' As well as this, in another video, the man zoomed in on the security camera and asked: 'Is this weird or is it me? The only thing he can view is me in my garden.' As he showed off his outside area, which was being spied on by his neighbour, he fumed: 'Here I am, sat in my garden and look at that there - staring right at me.' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ scoobz_13, has clearly left many gobsmacked, as in just three days, it has quickly racked up 99,100 views, 1,073 likes and 307 comments. Social media users were horrified by the neighbour's camera and many flocked to the comments to share their advice. Moment mystery 'neighbour from hell' stuffs POO through letterbox & smears paint stripper over cars in 'calculated' plot One person said: 'Report it to the police and council!' Another added: 'Call the police and ask them if you can do anything about it.' A third commented: 'Not on him reported and you could get damages for disturbing your peace.' As well as reporting the incident to the police and the council, others were eager to reveal recommendations on what to do in the meantime. The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue Broken fences - top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway Trees - complaints about a neighbour's tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating Bin wars - outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours Nosy Neighbours - some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others One user advised: 'If it's a WiFi cam you can get a WiFi blocker.' A second penned: 'Use a mirror to reflect light into the lens." Whilst someone else wrote: 'Are they clothes lines going across the garden? If not, put one high up along the fence and hang sheets.'
