Davina McCall out of hospital after brain surgery

TV presenter Davina McCall has revealed she is now out of hospital and says it's "really nice to be back home" following surgery to remove a benign brain tumour.

In an emotional Instagram post on Monday, she said she was "on the other side" and wanted to give an "enormous heartfelt thank you" for all the supportive messages she had received.

"It's meant the world," she said. "My short-term memory is a bit remiss but that's something I can work on. I'm writing down everything I'm doing to keep myself feeling safe.

"I'm on the mend, I'm resting, I'm sleeping loads, I feel really good. And very lucky."

It's the first time fans have heard directly from the star since she spoke about her diagnosis earlier this month, although her partner Michael continued updating her social media accounts and revealed she was out of intensive care last week.

He also thanked well-wishers and posted a statement to update followers when McCall came out of surgery the previous week.

In Monday's Instagram story, McCall said she was being "brilliantly looked after" by Michael and her step-mum Gabby and wanted to give a "big up to step-mums", saying Gabby had "been an amazing rock my whole life" and describing her as "a big dose of vitamin G".

"When something happens like this, I feel so grateful," she continued. "I've always been grateful, I've been really lucky in my life but I feel unbelievably grateful right now."

The 57-year-old posted a video on Instagram earlier this month, to say she had been diagnosed with a type of benign tumour called a colloid cyst.

A benign tumour is not cancerous, but such cysts tend to grow slowly, according to the Brainstrust charity.
