Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball thanked Davina for her efforts too, writing: "On behalf of all us lasses and our lads, both big and small THANK YOU for shining a light on perimenopause and menopause."

In her documentary Davina shared the shocking statistic that seven out of 10 women in menopause struggle with brain fog, and she shared how it impacted her career, explaining: "Brain fog is horrific. When I had it I couldn't read autocues because something weird happened to my eyes, I couldn't remember celebrity names. I seriously thought I was going to have to give up presenting. I was so full of shame I just couldn't talk to people."
