Presenter Davina McCall has bravely opened up about her past addictions to heroin and alcohol, and how dark that period of her life was.
Now the 53-year-old TV presenter has confessed that her menopause symptoms got so bad it felt like she was back there in her mid-20s, at the height of her crippling drug addiction.
Speaking on Loose Women, Davina said, ‘I’m a reformed addict and was waking up soaked in sweat and having to put towels on the bed, thinking, “There’s something wrong with me. I’ve got the fl u or a virus or something.” It really reminded me of when I was using, and I hated it,’ she admitted.
