Privacy NoticeDavina McCall has opened up on the struggle of her kid growing up and flying the nest during a candid moment on Wednesday’s (25 September) episode of My Mum, Your Dad. Talking to the female contestants on the show about their emotions as they discussed loneliness, with many of the women admitting they are feeling lonely as their children get older. And echoing their sentiments, mother-of-three Davina herself got emotional as she admitted: “I think we’re all struggling with that, with kids going [moving out], it’s really painful’.

Davina shares three children with ex-husband Matthew Robertson, 53, who she was married to for 17 years before they split in 2017. They are parents to eldest daughter Holly, 22, Tilly, 21, and son Chester, 17. Her youngest daughter Tilly currently lives in Australia, where Davina’s relatives also live, and Davina has previously admitted how emotional it was seeing her go. “I wept all the way back from the airport, obviously! But wept with pride, I think, pride and joy to see her skip off looking so happy and excited about this new chapter and where that might take her,” she said on her podcast.

The presenter continued: “My aim has always been to give my children wings, so they’re confident enough to go and do whatever they want to do. Obviously the reality of that will be… quiet. I quite enjoy the chaos. But I’d much rather they went off confidently than clung on to my legs and never wanted to leave.” While Tilly is Down Under, Davina’s eldest Holly has also flown the nest and has spent the last four years studying up North at Newcastle University, 300 miles from the family’s Kent home. Marking Holly’s graduation in July, she shared to Instagram: “Just arrived back from a very emotional few days in Newcastle. Where my daughter Holly has been at the brilliant @newcastleuni for the past 4 years.” Davina has been a staple on ITV over the last two weeks as the host of My Mum, Your Dad, which is hailed as the ‘middle aged Love Island’. Meeting her partner Michael Douglas back in 2019, Davina is the perfect person to host the show, which has the tagline, “It’s never too late to get butterflies”. Gushing over her celebrity hair stylist partner at the NTAs earlier this month, Davina said: “I love being on this journey with you. You make me a better person and you make me so happy. Thank you.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK! MagazineFacebookTwitterCommentMore OnDavina McCall
