Davina McCall publicly credited Caprice with saving her life at a charity launch event on Wednesday, revealing the model was the first person she called after her 2024 brain tumour diagnosis. Caprice, who had her own brain tumour found after a ski accident on the pair's 2017 show 'The Jump', directed McCall to surgeon Kevin O'Neill. McCall, 58, told the crowd she had seen O'Neill just that morning and wept as she called Caprice a "f*'ing boss b'*h."

McCall had suffered "advanced Alzheimer's" symptoms after her 2024 surgery, unable to remember her husband Michael Douglas had visited or that she had even had an operation.

McCall's benign colloid cyst was confirmed completely gone on her final MRI scan in April last year, which she described as the "toughest year" of both her and her husband's lives.
