Davina McCall

Wife, mother, friend and TV presenter

With a career spanning more than twenty years, Davina McCall has hosted numerous shows on British TV and is probably best known as host of iconic shows such as Big Brother and BAFTA Award winning Long Lost Family.

Davina got her break in 1992 when she landed her own show on MTV. Other roles followed before she became the anchor presenter on Don’t Try This at Home (ITV, 1998-2001) and cult dating show Streetmate (Channel 4, 1998-2001).

Most recently, Davina has hosted Channel 4’s The Jump & The Million Pound Drop and Sky1’s Got To Dance.

She has also been the face (and hair) for the L’Oreal brands Garnier and Nutrisse for the past eleven years and is, without doubt, the UK’s Number 1 fitness DVD franchise, having produced 7 top selling DVDs. Since 2010 she has had her own line of fitness equipment with Argos.

Davina is an active supporter and campaigner for the charities Focus 12 and Action Medical Research. She also fervently supports Comic and Sport Relief, for whom she undertook the challenge of a lifetime in 2014 when she rode, swam & ran 500miles in 1 week from Edinburgh to London & raised £2.7million for the charity.
