The 54-year-old TV presenter was married to her ex Matthew Robertson for 18 years, and while the pair "didn't go the distance", the former 'Big Brother' host insists they "did well" and made "three great kids".

Davina - who shares children Holly, 20, Tilly, 18, and 15-year-old Chester with Matthew - said: "That there's no such thing as failure if you learn something along the way.

"With Matthew and me, I don't see our relationship as a failure.

"We were married for 18 years - that was a successful marriage. We didn't go the distance, but we did well, and we made three great kids."

Davina has also opened up about experiencing menopause in the workplace, admitting she used to forget the contestants' names and would sometimes make autocue errors while presenting dance talent show 'Stepping Out'.

Speaking to Good Housekeeping - https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/davina-mccall-june-cover - she added: "When I became perimenopausal at work I didn't want to talk to anyone about it ... I was doing a live TV show called 'Stepping Out' and I was forgetting the names of contestants and making mistakes on the autocue, which I'd never done before.

"One day, the producer came into my dressing room and said, 'Are you okay? You don't seem yourself' and I said 'Oh, I'm fine.' Then, when she left, I just cried. I thought 'What's happening to me?' "
