The Masked Singer judge Davina McCall is embracing exercise and speaking openly about menopause.
Davina, wearing a grey vest top, was on an endorphin high as she addressed her social media fans.
She also said that creaking bones can be a sign of Perimenopause – when a woman’s body makes the natural transition to menopause – and encouraged women to have hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to counter the side effects of it.
Davina said: “Omg yessss first spin class in three weeks! Menopause month this October.
“So today’s symptom is joint / muscle pain… lots of us think those creaking bones is just a part of getting older, but it’s also a sign of perimenopause.. when our oestrogen drops. Taking HRT (transdermal HRT is body identical and made from yams) reduces the risk of osteoporosis and is amazing for perimeno symptoms.”
Davina was soon inundated with support from her fans as they flocked to the comment section of her post which has since racked up over 21,000 likes.
“Oh my word.. never knew this! You may have just answered my question about my joint pain… Thank you,” said one.
While a second added: “Davina you’ve literally saved my life. If you ever need a kidney, mine is yours.”
“Warrior,” gushed a third.
In August Davina opened up about the effects the menopause initially had on her – saying she feared she was suffering from dementia and would lose her job.
The TV presenter has been praised for shining a spotlight on the natural condition which hit her when she 44.
Earlier this year, she featured in a Channel 4 documentary, Davina McCall: Sex, Myths and the Menopause, where she investigated the natural moment where women stop having their periods.
Speaking to Fabulous magazine, Davina said: “I thought it was something that happened in your 50s – you got a couple of hot flushes and were through it.
“I had no idea about how much our bodies need hormones. I was having night sweats, hot flushes, and I wasn’t sleeping.”
This week Davina also showed off her toned physique while ‘hard at work’ abroad.
The star shared a photo of her lounging by a pool in a blue and white striped bikini, flashing a beaming smile while shielding her eyes with sunglasses.
Posting the picture onto Instagram, she captioned the snap “hard at work” with two laughing emojis beside it.
This Way Up star and comedian Aisling Bea commented on the picture, asking Davina: “Can I borrow some abs?”
Stylist Angie Smith also said: “You look happy, healthy and beautiful !!!!!”
Fearne Cotton also send her love, and wrote: “You dream boat Davs!”
