Davina McCall has showed off her incredibly trim figure, posing for a bikini selfie while on holiday in France. The 50-year-old TV star looked sensational as she lounged around outdoors in a bright lemon yellow two-piece. Revealing that her break in France had come to an end, Davina wrote: "Bye bye France. Back next year... I've been very French the last two weeks (je suis moitié française) and the best bit of all... the kids have totally grown in confidence with their French too... oh and France winning the World Cup..."

Davina's legion of fans quickly rushed to post compliments, with one replying: "Can we celebrate how blooming gorgeous you are! A hard working momma who radiates sunshine and positivity, you look like a beautiful blossoming sunflower." Another wrote, "Looking great as always" while a third commented: "You look gorgeous Davina."
