Davina McCall shares heartbreaking tribute to late father: ‘Thank you for being a great dad’

Davina McCall has shared an emotional tribute to her dad on Father’s Day.

The TV legend’s father, Andrew, died peacefully in February 2022, following a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

At the time, Davina honoured her dad on Instagram, writing: “He was the best Dad I could ever wish for. My sister and I hit the jackpot. He always made time for us, opened his ( and my amazing mummas) house to all our friends, temporarily adopted mates of mine that needed help.”

She added: “He lived life. He loved us. And we loved him. With all our hearts. He leaves an enormous hole in our lives.”

In an Instagram post uploaded on Father’s Day (June 21), Davina shared a young photo of herself alongside her look-alike dad.

To mark the occasion, the former Big Brother host penned a new tribute.

“Miss you Daddy …. Thank you for being a great Dad to me and Milly @millyhall x and stepdad to Caroline and granddad …. for being wise, and patient with me and helping me prep every home I moved into!!!” she wrote.

Davina continued: “For encouraging me to go for my dreams… for really really making me laugh … and for visiting me in hospital after my brain tumour, I know it wasn’t actually you ….. but it really really felt like it was xx it was lovely.”

In November 2024, Davina underwent successful brain surgery to remove a rare, benign 14mm colloid cyst.
