Davina McCall's partner is going through an ordeal 'almost worse' than the cancer -striken presenter, her pal Amanda Holden claimed. Chatting to JK and Ashley Roberts about former Big Brother presenter Davina's ongoing health battle, Amanda said that what her boyfriend, Michael Douglas, is 'going through' is 'almost worse'. Explaining her sympathy for Michael, she said: "I think waiting by someone's bedside is almost worse than going through it yourself.
Just waiting for that loved one to come back to you is just...
" Earlier in the show, the Britain's Got Talent judge gave fans an update on her friend's health: "It is just the most shocking awful thing, and I always just think you find that kind of news out on a random Tuesday in a week were nothing happens. "But, she's on the mend, she is a force of life and we all send our love to her and Michael." Amanda and Davina's long-term relationship has been well documented down the years, with the pair even coming together for the launch of a new JD Williams clothing line in recent years.
Meanwhile, earlier this year the 57-year-old temporarily stepped in to replace Amanda on her Heart Breakfast show where she joined Jamie Theakston, while the Britain’s Got Talent judge reportedly filmed Cheaters: Unfinished Business, for Netflix . Last Friday (November 15), the former Big Brother host shocked her social media followers that she was due to have a benign tumour, known as a colloid cyst, removed from her brain after doctors recently made the discovery. According to the National Institute of Health, colloid cysts can cause a variety of symptoms including 'headaches, diplopia, memory problems, and vertigo.
' Yesterday (Monday, November 18), Michael provided fans with an update on his girlfriend's health via her Instagram account as he wrote: "Mega progress these last 24 hours. Massive relief to see some light breaking through. Thanks for all the good vibes coming in from all angles.
Up and up." Davina, who has previously been divorced twice before, reportedly met Michael when he styled her hair during her time on Big Brother between 2000 and 2010. But, it wasn't until 2019 that Michael and the mum-of three made their relationship official.
