‘Thanks so so much to everyone at @onewelbeck and @clevelandclinic . To my mum and @mdlondon for taking such good care of me . To Sarah for being my BFF to my amazing kids. To @brain.surgeon.uk for being the GOAT. 

‘I am so so grateful particularly because I know a lot of people have inoperable tumours and and I know I’m lucky to be able to draw a line under this and move on with my life when so many people can’t. And I’m just gonna say this one more time. Benign does not mean fine..’

The clip saw the Masked Singer judge and her celebrity hairdresser beau sitting in the sunshine, with Davina telling the camera: ‘We thought’s we’d post a final brain operation update’, with Michael chiming in: ‘It’s good news!’ 

She told how she had her final MRI last week and admitted that she was nervous’ as if any of the tumour was left that it would grow back and she’d have to ‘go through the whole thing again’.

She noted that she’d ‘mentally prepared herself’ for that scenario, while Michael added that he too was nervous as it had been ‘a huge journey’. 

Last month, Davina broke down in tears live on Comic Relief as she discussed her recent brain tumour surgery.

The presenter emotionally reflected on life and ‘what really matters’ after undergoing an operation to remove a colloid cyst five months ago.

Speaking on the programme, she said: ‘Doctors found a brain tumour and after thinking about it for a while I decided it would be best to have it removed.’

Davina struggled to hold back tears, with the camera crew being forced to step in and ask if she was ok.  

As her voice cracked, she added: ‘This whole experience, kind of weighing up all the risks and all the positive things about having this tumour removed made me really think deeply about what life is really about and what matters when life gets tough.

‘I needed the brilliance and the skills of lots of experts to make me okay. And oh my goodness, I’ve needed the love and support of friends and my family, and in particular, my Michael to get me through.’ 

Davina concluded: ‘It really made me think that there are so many people who are in trouble and danger and they don’t have the support that I had. I was really lucky.’
