When Davina McCall isn't busy presenting the latest reality TV show, working out, or recording for her podcast Making The Cut, the 55-year-old presenter is a doting mum to Holly, 21, Tilly, 19, and 16-year-old Chester. 

Despite choosing to keep her kids out of the spotlight throughout her career, the former Big Brother host evidently shares a close bond with her three children. They often share Instagram photos with their celebrity mum, especially following Davina's split from ex-husband Matthew Robertson in 2017.

Davina's middle daughter Tilly currently lives in Australia, a move that the mum-of-three has admitted she "really struggled with". 

The TV host shared on her podcast, which she hosts with her boyfriend Michael Douglas, "I wept all the way back from the airport, obviously! But wept with pride, I think, pride and joy to see her skip off looking so happy and excited about this new chapter and where that might take her."

Back in 2018, Davina made a rare comment on her parenting style during a chat with Giovanni Fletcher on her Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast. At the time, her eldest daughter Holly was 16. 

On the subject of raising teenagers, Davina revealed that the best bit of advice she had been given was "never say no". 

She said: "When my daughter comes to talk to me and asks to come back from a party at one, in my head I'm going, 'Not on your Nelly'. But then we compromise… We then don’t have the slamming of the doors."
