Davina ‘I'm grieving for sick dad'

She cheered up the nation while hosting Big Brother: Best Shows Ever last month, but Davina McCall has been going through a difficult time herself behind closed doors.
Speaking on her podcast Making The Cut, which she hosts with her hairdresser boyfriend Michael Douglas, Davina said she has “anticipatory grief” as her father suffers from Alzheimer’s.

The 52-year-old highlighted the close bond she and dad Andrew, who was diagnosed in 2016, share by posting a sweet Father’s Day tribute alongside a series of family photos.
“Happy Father’s Day Daddy!!! Thank you for always showing up. Thank you for always listening, and your sage advice… for making me laugh a lot and for showing us that even now, Alzheimers can’t dampen your amazing positivity… I love you with all my heart,” she wrote.
In April, she said witnessing the decline in his health was “very hard”, adding, “It’s heartbreaking watching someone who was so active and intelligent and argumentative having to be helped with the most basic tasks.”
