Davina McCall proved that she is stronger than ever as she showed off her rock-hard abs during a fierce home workout.
The TV presenter, 56, stunned fans on social media on Saturday after posting a clip of her latest training session, flaunting a sculpted six-pack.
Wearing a white crop top, blue shorts and gym trainers, Davina powered through a tough cardio and abs session in her home gym – flexing her muscles and grinning as she smashed her reps with ease.
The fitness fanatic has always been a champion for staying active, but this latest glimpse proved she has come back even stronger after her recent health scare.
In November, the Masked Singer star revealed she was diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour and underwent a six-hour operation.
Speaking about the terrifying ordeal at the time, Davina admitted her tumour – whom she called Jeffrey – made her ‘angry’, but now, she is showing what resilience really looks like – and her fans are lapping it up.

Taking to the comment section they wrote: ‘You can grate cheese on those abs’
‘Absolute powerhouse’; Look at those legs’; ‘Awesome Davina. Looking strong and AMAZING’; ‘You are such an inspiration Davina’.
Earlier this month the star insisted she’s ‘not scared of dying anymore’ following her life-changing brain tumour.
Speaking at Fearne Cotton‘s Happy Place Festival at Gunnersby Park Davina explained how it has shifted her perspective on life.
‘I am not afraid of dying anymore and it was the biggest journey of my life from August 2023 to November 2024’, she admitted.
‘I want to help people on their deathbed on my Begin Again podcast now so they can say “I have lived the life I wanted and not think things like “I wish I had not done that job. I wished I had not stayed in this relationship”.
‘Sometimes I feel like there are other powers at play. All the fear that comes around the word “tumour”. Fearne and I understood each other at that time.
‘I mean, it’s a really amazing place to get to, not being scared of dying. I think having no regrets and feeling like you are living fully in the life you want to be in, it’s quite rare.’

Davina has long credited regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle with helping her stay strong – both mentally and physically.
Speaking to The Telegraph earlier this year, Davina explained that she actually only works out for half an hour, four times a week as she said: ‘People are like, “What? Oh, we thought you were doing two hours, five days a week!”
‘It’s because I post snippets of my half-hour workouts and everyone thinks I’m doing it all the time.’
Admitting she used to spend more time in the gym, Davina added: ‘I worked out for longer in my 30s because I didn’t realise I could get the same results while doing less.
‘If you work out efficiently for half an hour, you’ll get as much as from a sloppy 45 minutes to an hour. I’m always time poor: three kids, work, meetings, there’s always stuff to do, and I don’t have an hour and a half or two hours to work out every day.’
Revealing her current workout regime, Davina explained she goes to her home gym after her morning coffee for a 30 minute workout two to three times a week.
Focusing on strength training she uses her own health platform Davina Own Goals and follows one of the many workouts on there.
The star uses 0.5kg weighted gloves for arm exercises as well as 5kg or 6kg weights and will also wear a weighted vest for full body exercises like squats.
She also likes to go out on a run once a week as she revealed she has been doing Couch to 5k to get her fitness back after her surgery.
Mixing in some intervals, Davina will add in some minute-long sprints to her runs to help her cardiovascular system.
And weeks after a successful operation to remove the growth, Davina revealed her survival felt like a ‘gift’ while she reflected on the success of her new Begin Again podcast.
Davina underwent an operation to remove a colloid cyst in her brain four months ago and has taken her fans along her recovery journey with her
Taking to Instagram at the end of December, the TV star recorded a video as she thanked fans for their support over her latest project, while also looking back on her own health journey as she admitted she feels like she’s ‘begun again’.
She explained: ‘Thanks for joining me on my Begin Again podcast. I’ve loved recording this podcast, and I’ve loved meeting everybody.
‘What I’ve enjoyed about recording this podcast is, it’s so so broad. Begin Again can mean anything, it can mean something similar to what I’ve just been through, which is having a life-threatening tumour and it being removed.
‘I feel like I’ve begun again, I mean in the weirdest sense, I guess because I’ve had a positive outcome. It’s like being given a second chance at life. It feels amazing, almost as if I’ve been given a gift.’
