Celebrities aren’t like you and me, they do things differently, even walking. And no celebrity is quite like the sainted Davina McCall.
There she was in the Times magazine recently, in an article with the shout line ‘I didn’t need drugs. But I had a hole in my heart that and they filled that,’ which I translate as ‘I didn’t need drugs I just liked them.’
Is she a walker? Hell yes. She ‘ran into’ Matthew Robertson, then presenter of Pet Rescue while out walking her dog. Reader, she married him in 2000, and separated in 2017 – that’s many, many decades in celebrity marriage years. And she kept on walking.
A little research reveals that in 2021 she did something nasty to her foot after tripping on a tree root while out walking her dog. This, of course, she shared on Instagram – and issued a ‘trigger warning’ for the image. I think we’ve all seen worse.
But about a week later she shared another picture and the foot was looking much better. Whew! Drama! Relief! Bathos!
Here’s another picture of Davina walking: not a tree root in sight.
