Davina McCall on why life is better AFTER the menopause

It's the telly presenter's 50th today

| Updated:

Fitness fanatic Davina McCall could easily pass for 40 – or even younger!

As the former Big Brother presenter celebrates her 50th birthday today, she’s spoken about how she’s maintained her youthful glow.

And how the menopause has done nothing to slow down her sex life – quite the opposite, in fact.

The telly favourite told Stella magazine that she’s feeling sexier than ever.

And since taking hormone replacement drug HRT, she’s discovered her libido has also gone through the roof – which is surely music to the ears of her husband of 16 years, Matthew Robertson.

Davina had likened her early menopause symptoms to being like quitting heroin cold turkey, and turned to Hormone Replacement Therapy to help.

She said: “All my symptoms stopped overnight. I’m not endorsing it, it was a personal decision.

“I feel, in a funny way, it’s almost more attractive that I can’t have children, because now I don’t need to take contraception.

“There’s a certain friskiness that comes about that. There is a confidence that comes with age.”

The mum of three is ageing like a fine wine, sharing an incredible snap of her backside ahead of her 50th. She captioned the shot: “Did a run this am… first foray into thong bikini… at 50. This might look like I’m showing off… I am.”

Legions of fans couldn’t believe their eyes, with one commenting: “You don’t even look 40 never mind 50!! You’re so beautiful!”

And another said that the presenter was an “inspiration to others.”

Davina will soon resume hosting duties on Channel 4’s Stand Up to Cancer later this month, looking and feeling better than ever.
