Newly single Davina goes house hunting

- By Alexander Holmes

IT was only on Saturday that she announced she was splitting from her husband after 17 years of marriage.

And it seems Davina McCall, 50, is already looking to move on, as she was spotted house hunting in East Sussex, southeast England, yesterday. The former Big Brother host was seen chatting to an estate agent and being taken on a tour of properties near her former marital home.

It was the first time she had been seen since she revealed that her marriage to Matthew Robertson had ended.

Ms McCall, who was dressed in a quilted green bomber jacket, patterned leggings, and socks and sandals, looked downcast as she chatted on her mobile phone – although she was still wearing her wedding ring.

By contrast, Mr Robertson had been seen hours earlier without his wedding ring as he boarded a train in East Sussex.

Ms McCall was previously married to Andrew Leggett for three months in 1997.

She met Mr Robertson, a former presenter of Channel 4’s Pet Rescue, by chance as she was out walking her dog and the couple married in 2000. They have three children together: Holly, 16, Tilly, 14, and 11-year-old Chester.

In a statement on Saturday, Ms McCall said: ‘I am very sad to say that Matthew and I have separated. Our amazing children are our No.1 priority, above everything else, so therefore we ask for as much space and respect from the media as possible while our family goes through this difficult time.’
