Davina McCall, the beloved British presenter, has bravely spoken out against the hurtful “abuse” she has received from online trolls regarding her weight. The 56-year-old TV personality took to Instagram to address the negative comments she has been receiving, calling out the trolls for their hurtful remarks.
In a powerful video message, Davina shared, “People feel like they can post these things and have no consequences because they can post whatever they like.” She went on to address the concern about her weight, stating, “I’m a 5ft 6 woman who weighs 61kg. I don’t diet, I exercise, I eat relatively healthily and I enjoy sharing that journey with people. I’m 57 this year and I’m happy with the way that I look, and I feel absolutely [expletive] great.”
The backlash came after Davina shared a video promoting a gut shot drink to her 1.7 million Instagram followers. While many fans showed support and interest in the product, others flooded the comments with concerns about her appearance and weight, prompting Davina to respond with a message urging people to think before they post negative comments.
Davina’s candid clapback to the trolls comes as she continues to champion women in their midlife, a cause she is passionate about. The star has been an advocate for women going through menopause and has been vocal about embracing the next chapter of life with enthusiasm and zest.
Despite the online abuse, Davina remains strong and resilient, using her platform to spread positivity and empower others to embrace their true selves.
