Davina McCall is having surgery to remove a brain tumour called a colloid cyst.

The 57-year-old said she was diagnosed with a rare type of benign tumour.

The tumour is not cancerous, but such cysts tend to grow slowly, charity says.

She said she expected to spend about nine days in hospital after the operation.
