Davina McCall has made an "enormous leap forward in the last 24 hours", her partner has revealed in an update.
Posting on Instagram, Michael Douglas, shared: "Update folks. Thanks so much to all the well wishers.
"She really has made an enormous leap forward in the last 24 hours. She is out of ICU She is 'loving awareness'. Thank you xx Michael."
The post also featured an image, which said, "massive relief to see some light breaking through", Sky News reported.
"Thanks for all the good vibes coming in from all angles. Up and up," it added.
The 57-year-old television presenter had revealed in a video posted on Instagram last Friday (November 15) that she had a benign brain tumour, a colloid cyst, which she described as "very rare".
Davina asked her fans to "keep her in their prayers" as Michael was to take over her social media during her recovery period.
She also said she would be spending around nine days in hospital after the procedure.
However, Michael has reassured fans that Davina is in "great shape" but will be "off-grid" while she recovers.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
