Davina McCall's secret to looking incredible at 56 - strict diet to exercise
Fans have watched Davina McCall on their television screens for decades and she only seems to be getting younger with every passing year.
The Masked Singer judge, 56, won over viewers with her bubbly personality and incredible skills since she started presenting TV shows in 1994, but many were also impressed with her workout routines and body confidence. The star usually shares her tips and tricks in interviews and social media posts.
The former Big Brother favourite, who has been open about her menopause journey, has previously wowed audiences with her incredible outfits, and, like Amanda Holden, has no plans to 'tone them down'.
But how does the star stay so young? Here's what we put together from workout routines to simple confidence...
Exercise and Diet

She also spends a lot of time exercising (Instagram/davinamccall)The presenter previously said that she is in the best shape of her life after developing a passion for fitness and exercise. She decided to make changes to her lifestyle after she was surprised to discover that she had very high cholesterol and was at risk of heart disease.

This discovery shocked Davina, as she had always maintained a slim figure. After discovering what was going on inside her body, she decided to make a few changes to her lifestyle. Davina cut fat out of her diet and switched from full-fat milk to semi-skimmed - adding that was a "big sacrifice" for her.
Davina also cut cheese out of her diet, other than a "sprinkling of parmesan". "My half-sister and I lived together for a long time and I remember our favourite dinner would be a ‘picky plate’ of assorted meats, cheeses, French bread and tons of butter," she explained.
“Now I very rarely eat cheese, other than a sprinkling of parmesan on my pasta or at Christmas time – I definitely see it more as a treat now."
Not only is she careful with what she eats, but she recently got into intermittent fasting and noticed a 'stark difference' in her well-being. She also sets aside 30 minutes a day (five days a week) to exercise. Fans can see a few glimpses of her workout routines on social media. The presenter told the Independent that she treats her body like an "engine", which constantly needs maintenance.
In an interview with Hello magazine, she revealed that she never gets fat on her stomach. "My stomach hardly ever gets fat, but my bum and thighs turn to jelly if I don't work out for like, three days," she said. "Even after I had a baby, quite quickly I lost my tummy. But when I was pregnant, my redeeming feature disappeared overnight and I was left with an enormous bum and thighs."
Incredible Outfits

Last year, she joked about being in a 'plunge-off' with Amanda, who holds the record for the most Ofcom complaints ever over her daring primetime dresses. The former Big Brother favourite has previously wowed audiences with her incredible outfits, and, like Amanda, has no plans to 'tone them down'.
Speaking to The Sun, the mum-of-three said: "I've been plunging my little heart out. I plunged on show two and I had the cleavage to match. Now it's a "plunge-off" between me and Amanda. But I haven't had an Ofcom complaint yet. I've got to work harder. If I get one I'll be a little bit pleased, if I'm honest."
Skincare Routine

The star has been open about her exercise routine and skincare routine (internet unknown)Davina once shared her skincare routine and fans would be delighted to know her products don't cost an arm and a leg. In a YouTube video, the presenter revealed she's a big fan of Garnier's Micellar water, which is available for around £5.
She said: “It’s to cleanse and it’s very soothing but the big thing is it takes off make-up brilliantly. At my age, I don’t want to be scrubbing and forcing make-up to come off." Her next steps involve using a tony called Formula 2006 by Dr Frances Prenna Jones.

The star explained: "It’s quite a strong toner as I have oily skin and I have quite a lot of open pores, so it needs quite a stringent toner.” Her final step in the routine has her applying Garnier's Ultra-lift night cream - which she uses day and night - before adding an SPF50.
