I love Davina. I bought her exercise DVDs when exercise DVDs were still a thing. In fact I did them religiously in my front room, seriously imagining that one day my body would morph into her body. I had the same relationship with Cindy Crawford when I was in my teens and did her exercise videos too (sometimes with a fag in my hand - I was 17 so you know, not very health conscious despite the exercise regime). I even watched Davina on MTV when I lived in Amsterdam when she co-hosted this show with Ray Cokes. She was a big talent. I watched her on Big Brother. I feel like she’s always been with me. I don’t know her personally I feel like we’d get on. She’s also done a massive amount in raising awareness around menopause- without the documentaries she made for Channel 4 many women would still be wondering why they were so anxious, overheated, lacking sleep, experiencing heart palpitations etc.
