About this ebook
Over the last few years, Davina McCall's warmth, humor, and charm have endeared her to millions of viewers and made her the first lady of reality television. Now embarking on her 7th series of Big Brother, the much-loved Davina is here to stay. Yet behind this amazing woman is an incredible story of triumph over personal mountains that for years were impossible to climb. A tragic and turbulent past, beginning with a fractured childhood and difficult teens, meant Davina had to grow up fast, but the adult world did not sit easily with her. The price of this was a retreat into drugs and alcohol, as well as a string of difficult relationships that threatened to ruin her. Facing crisis, Davina took control and bounced back in style, facing her demons and moving on to achieve incredible successes that made her the envy and role model of many a would-be TV presenter.
