DAVINA McCall has issued a fresh health update as she revealed when she’ll return to work following major brain sugery.
The 57-year-old TV presenter underwent the invasive operation last month for a benign brain tumour.
While Davina has been supported by family during her recovery, she’s now revealed when she’ll be back to work – and it’s soon.
In a video message on social media, she told fans: “Hi just a quick update to let everyone know that I’m doing well.
“And the last couple of days I’ve really, really, really felt miles better and I’ve come in to London today to celebrate one of Michael’s boy’s birthdays, so that’s lovely.
“And just also wanted to say that the picture of me in the wig was from when we recorded The Masked Singer earlier on this year, it was before my operation.
“I was fit as a fiddle then, I’m still recovering right now and I’m planning on getting back to work in about a month.”
Davina was diagnosed with a benign but very rare tumour purely by chance after being offered a scan a few months ago.
The star has made her first public appearance since her operation days ago, where she became emotional.
It came when she attended an event at All Saints Church, Fulham to support her neurosurgeon Kevin O’Neill, along with her boyfriend Michael Douglas.
Taking to the stage to make her speech, an emotional Davina said: “I’m crying already, that didn’t go well.”
Davina is mum to Holly, 23, Tilly, 21, and Chester, 18, from her former marriage to TV presenter Matthew Robertson.
Just days ago Davina left fans in awe as she revealed a bold new look for the next series of The Masked Singer.
She wore a blonde bobbed wig and a vivid animal-print outfit in a photoshoot for the shows.

DAVINA’S brain tumour is a rare type of growth called a colloid cyst and is benign, meaning it is not cancerous.
It will not spread to other parts of her body so it is less dangerous than a malignant tumour.
Benign tumours often need removing because as they grow, they put pressure on important parts of the brain — potentially crushing nerves or cutting off the flow of blood.
Colloid cysts only affect about three in every one million people. They are thought to be present from birth and grow slowly over time.
The cysts may only be found once they cause symptoms — such as headaches and memory trouble — or during tests for other conditions.
Doctors often choose to watch and wait if the tumour is small or they may remove larger ones.
