Davina McCall has shared her first health update after having an operation for a brain tumour.
Earlier this month, the TV presenter, 57, announced that she would be undergoing brain surgery after she was diagnosed with a “very rare” tumour.
The colloid cyst was found after she was offered a health check-up as part of her menopause advocacy work.
Now, McCall has taken to Instagram to share her first health update following the surgery telling followers that she's recovering.

Sharing a video to Instagram, McCall was lying in bed, sharing: "I'm on the other side. My short-term memory's a bit, um, remiss.
"But that is something I can work on so I'm really happy about that. I'm writing down everything I'm doing, to keep myself feeling safe."
Captioning the post, McCall went on to thank those who have cared for her while she recovers: "Just want to thank @mdlondon , who gets best boyfriend ever award. Voted for by me and everyone that knows us. Also … best mum ever award … goes to @gabbamccall . Thank you mumma. For being the best grandma … and mumma ever. I am feeling much better. Had a great night's sleep in my own bed."

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!
