“Age is just not a barrier, it’s just not. Well I’m not letting it be and you shouldn’t either.”

Back in July, Davina said her sister Caroline’s death from lung cancer at the age of 50 made her want to “do everything I can to stay fit and healthy”.

She told the Mirror at the time: “One in two of us is going to end up with cancer. Cancer used to play on my mind.
