Davina, what have you done to yourself?
The new pictures of a transformed Davina Mccall in her bikini, all washboard abs and textbook muscle definition, was both impressive (“Wow!”) and unnerving (“Why?”).
I get that she heads up a fitness empire, but her extreme training appears, rather alarmingly, to have taken her into body-building territory.
It’s her choice, but she has always admitted to having an addictive personality; it was alcohol and heroin in her twenties, career took over in her thirties, then exercise became the focus in her forties.
Now aged 50, Davina recently announced that her 16-year marriage has ended and her grief was palpable.
No wonder she has thrown herself so wholeheartedly into endorphin-fuelled gym sessions. But I worry because she once told me that her slogan is: “Give more than is expected.”
It’s a tall order. I hope her close friends are rallying round to remind Davina she is cherished without expectation.
