    Davina McCall makes ‘death confession’ after brutal brain tumour surgery

    Former Big Brother presenter Davina McCall has opened up about her thoughts on death after the TV legend recently underwent surgery to have a brain tumour removedBekka Barnard TV & Showbiz Reporter and Casey Cooper-Fiske PA Senior Entertainment Reporter00:01, 04 Aug 2025Davina McCall has opened up about her own mortality.The former Big Brother presenter revealed that she is “not afraid of dying” after she recently underwent surgery to remove a benign brain tumour.Back in April the 57-year-old confirmed that her “final MRI” showed the colloid cyst, which was removed in November 2024, is “not coming back”. The tumour was discovered when she underwent a health check-up as part of her menopause advocacy work.She recently appeared on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast and said: “I am not afraid of dying anymore and it was the biggest journey of my life. From August 23 to November 24 was an amazing time where something changed.”McCall explained that her goal is to live life without regrets and encourage others to do the same and her only concern about death is how her loved ones will cope.Davina had brain surgery back in November 2024Thinking back on the time her tumour was discovered, she recalled: “I thought: ‘I need to get my brain in the right place,’ and that was to a place where I could be calm, and what did I need to do to do that? Were my kids going to be okay if I didn’t make it? That’s all I really cared about.””I knew Michael (Douglas, her partner), Michael’s a whole person, Michael’s Michael, but I was really worried about my kids. I went forensic on thinking about my children and where they were at in their life, what stage they were at. You’re only as happy as your unhappiest child, right?”The TV presenter documented her journey on Instagram and previously showed off her surgery scars(Image: Michael Douglas/Instagram)”I came to a realisation after about six months of cross-examining them about their life and telling them the whole time how much I’ve loved my life. My eldest daughter kept caught on. She was like: ‘You are not dying’, I was like: ‘No, no, no’, I realised that they would be great.”Davina said she realised that they would “miss her” but ultimately “they would be okay”. The TV presenter was comforted with the fact that she “could go to sleep on the operating table and know they were all there to help here”.Davina appears to have made a full recovery since the tumour was removed(Image: Begin Again with Davina McCall/YouTube)”I can let go of the outcome and it was the best gift. I am not afraid of dying.”Since Davina’s diagnosis and surgery she has seemingly made a full recovery and has returned to work. McCall, the presenter of reality dating programme My Mum, Your Dad, has been a long-standing advocate for women’s health issues.She has hosted documentaries such as Sex, Myths And The Menopause and Davina McCall’s Pill Revolution, focusing on contraception.Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

    Jack Osbourne and rarely-seen sister Aimee ‘not close at all’ as he addresses ‘regret’

    The Osbournes star Jack Osbourne has candidly spoken out about his relationship with his sister Aimee Osbourne, admitting they ‘are not close at all’ as he addressed her decision not to be on the show20:22, 03 Aug 2025Jack Osbourne says he and Aimee are ‘not close'(Image: Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP)Jack Osbourne has confessed that he and his rarely-seen sister Aimee Osbourne are “not close at all” whilst opening up about her choice not to appear on classic MTV series The Osbournes. The groundbreaking reality programme tracked rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and his clan across four series. Whilst Jack, 39, and his sister Kelly, 40, became stars of the MTV sensation, 41-year-old Aimee chose to stay completely away from the cameras.Aimee allegedly worried she’d be perceived as “riding on the coat-tails” of her relatives whilst attempting to establish herself in the music world.During an appearance on the Disrespectfully podcast, Jack revealed: “Back then she really wanted to be a musician and the kind of musician she wanted to be was like a Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star, like this kind of obscure, mysterious, moody…and she deemed doing a show on MTV as low-hanging fruit.Aimee Osbourne chose privacy over fame(Image: INSTAGRAM/AIMEEOSBOURNE)”She was like, ‘I’m not going to be seen riding coat-tails,’ kind of thing, that’s how she perceived it,” reports the Mirror.He continued: “Once the show was hugely successful I think she was kind of like, ‘Well I can’t now come on because I don’t want to be seen even more so as jumping on the bandwagon’. And she dug her heels in and wanted to be relatively private and obscure.”The Osbournes is credited with blazing the trail for reality programmes centred around celebrity households. It chronicled the family navigating challenging situations including Sharon’s cancer diagnosis and a quad bike crash that nearly claimed Ozzy’s life.The Osbournes became household names in the early 2000s thanks to the popularity of their MTV reality showWhen questioned about whether Aimee had any regrets over not participating in the programme, Jack responded: “I’ve never had the conversation with her, we’re not close at all. We don’t have a great relationship, she’ll be the first to tell you that, so it’s no secret.”I’ve never asked her outright, ‘Do you regret it’. I think there must be a level of like, ‘Hey, my life would have probably been different than what it is if I’d done that’, so I don’t know, I think I would feel like I would have regretted it.”When pressed on whether he’s “glad” he took part in the series, Jack answered: “Absolutely, it was such an interesting thing to be a part of, especially how much media has changed, there’s just not that level of excitement around TV anymore like there was back then.”Jack was seen at dad Ozzy’s memorial procession this week(Image: Getty Images North America)Aimee was recently seen with her relatives as she attended her father’s memorial. The rock legend Ozzy passed away aged 76 on July 22, just weeks following his final appearance with Black Sabbath.The family paused at Black Sabbath bridge in Birmingham to view the tributes left by thousands of admirers since Ozzy’s passing. They encountered supporters chanting “Ozzy” and lingered for approximately five minutes before the cortege moved on.The Black Sabbath lead singer was interred beside an ornamental lake on his 250-acre Buckinghamshire estate. Following his death, devotees have placed floral tributes outside the grounds.Article continues belowWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?
