Davina McCall, 54, is a champion for women. Following her groundbreaking documentary Sex, Myths And The Menopause, she has become a voice for many and we admire her.
Her book, Menopausing: The Positive Roadmap To Your Second Spring, is due out in September and she tells us it's become her "mission in life" to urge women to speak more openly about the menopause and highlight the vast misinformation surrounding it.
A trusted face on our TV screens for more than two decades, she's the perfect person to lead the conversation on this sensitive issue. In fact, ever since we first heard the words "this is Davina" in her Big Brother days, the public has tended to sit up and listen.
Davina who is mum to Holly, 20, Tilly, 18, and Chester, 15 is certainly relatable. She might be a celebrity, but she's incredibly humble. On her website she simply calls herself a "mother and a friend".
Here, we chat to Davina about how we all need a little more time away from social media, at what age she truly accepted herself and, as an ambassador for affordable fashion brand JD Williams, we also talk about her fashion top tips...
Davina, what does being a woman mean to you?
That's an interesting question. I think, for me, it's all about being a mother and part of a very welcoming and amazing sisterhood. Women have an ability to speak to each other in perhaps a way that men do not. For example, a woman can go very deep and meaningful with another woman, quite quickly, which makes me feel very privileged.
What advice would you give the next generation of women?
To be confident in your abilities and aim high.
How do you think you can make a difference?
I have a platform which I try to really make a difference with. My mission in life is to try and spread hope and information around the menopause - this has been my most recent and main ambition.
