Davina has spoken openly about how the menopause affected her, and has become an advocate for raising awareness of women’s health in documentaries such as Sex, Myths and The Menopause.
In the documentary the star spoke about the fears she encountered when she was diagnosed as being in the perimenopause, the transitional period before the menopause, at the age of 44, saying in the documentary that she thought she would have to ‘give up presenting’.
However, Davina has credited Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) with changing her life for the better and alleviating her menopause symptoms.
