In a heartwarming turn of events, beloved British TV presenter Davina McCall has quietly married her long-term partner, celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas, in an intimate ceremony held in London on December 5, 2025. The low-key wedding comes just months after the couple’s whirlwind engagement and follows a challenging year marked by Davina’s significant health battles.

The 58-year-old star, known for hosting iconic shows like Big Brother and Long Lost Family, exchanged vows with Michael, 49, in a private setting attended by only immediate family and a handful of close friends—reportedly around 10 guests in total. Sources close to the couple describe the event as “absolutely beautiful” and “perfect,” emphasizing that it included everyone truly special in their lives. The following day, the newlyweds attended a friend’s larger wedding as a married couple for the first time, subtly showing off Davina’s wedding ring during what was dubbed the “perfect weekend.”

Davina and Michael, who have been together since 2019 after a 20-year friendship that began on the set of Big Brother where he styled her hair, announced their engagement in September 2025. Michael proposed during a romantic getaway in Ibiza, catching Davina completely by surprise despite his playful hints over the years. The decision to marry quickly stemmed from a desire not to delay happiness after enduring so much uncertainty.

This year has been particularly trying for Davina. In late 2024, she underwent neurosurgery to remove a rare benign brain tumor known as a colloid cyst, discovered during a routine health scan. The procedure was successful, and by April 2025, scans confirmed no recurrence, giving her the all-clear. However, in November 2025, just weeks before the wedding, Davina revealed a breast cancer diagnosis after finding a small lump. She underwent a successful lumpectomy in October, catching the disease early and proceeding with treatment.

Throughout these ordeals, Michael has been Davina’s unwavering support, caring for her during recovery and standing by her side. Insiders note that the health scares reinforced what truly matters, prompting the couple to formalize their commitment without waiting for a grand affair. “They’ve been through a huge amount recently, and it just felt right,” a source shared.

Davina, a mother of three adult children from her previous marriage to Matthew Robertson (2000-2017), has often spoken about prioritizing family and close relationships. This is her third marriage, but friends say this one feels deeply rooted in genuine companionship and resilience.

The couple’s story is one of triumph over adversity—from friends to lovers, through health crises to lifelong partners. As Davina continues her recovery and career, this secret union marks a joyful new chapter, proving that love can flourish even in the toughest times.
