TV personality Davina McCall exclaimed she's "happier than ever" - seven years after her shock divorce.

The presenter beamed with joy as she spoke about overcoming past struggles while on stage at a comedy gig in aid of Menopause Mandate.

Davina, 56, looked stunning as she showed off her figure in a striking gold dress - and gushed over her celebrity hairdresser boyfriend, Michael Douglas.

He was sat front row at London's Hippodrome to watch her host the event - It’s a Right Laugh - sponsored by Boots.

Davina introduced a howlingly hilarious host of female comedians including Jo Brand, Zoe Lyons, Nina Conti, Jenny Eclair, Sikisa, Ria Lina, Sara Barron, Thanyia Moore, Jen Brister, Laura Smyth and Isma Almas.

The women joined forces to back the new Menopause Mandate campaign - demanding the menopause is included in the NHS over-40 health check.

"I got involved because I was sick of the way society views mid-life women, as if they're haggard and dried up. We've got to be able to change that.

"I went through the menopause and now I'm happier than ever."

She then pointed out her boyfriend Michael who she has been dating since the summer of 2019.

Michael started doing Davina McCall's hair back when her Big Brother career first began.

She had been using him as her hairdresser and 'therapy' go-to for 20 years after building a solid friendship.

Davina split from her husband Matthew Robertson in 2017 and was married to Andrew Leggett from 1997 to 1999.

Amid the two hours of menopause and midlife-themed hilarity, there were also stories of suffering - from isolation, depression and suicidal ideation, with relationships destroyed and jobs lost.

Davina added: "Every woman in the UK is given a health check for free over the age of 40.

What is the menopause?

There are 16 million women over the age of 45 in the UK - and Menopause Mandate believes they should all be checked at the doctors.

Not every woman will find menopause difficult, but there are said to be at least 34 symptoms and most women will experience at least one.

Hot flushes, brain fog, and weight gain are just some signs of the change millions of women go through each year.

One in four will find their quality of life is compromised.

Menopause Mandate argues that by highlighting the signs and symptoms of the menopause at the health check, which is offered to everyone, will mean that women enter the transition armed with knowledge and prepared to make lifestyle and HRT choices.

It will save countless women from years of baffling symptoms and save the NHS millions both short and long term, they said.

"They might talk about heart health and diabetes risk, but the one thing that every single woman is 100 per cent going to go through is menopause, and that’s not even given a nod.

"Women need to be educated and informed. Please scan our QR code and sign the petition.

"We’re looking to the future. Let’s get the next generations of girls fully supported."

LOVE Island bosses have signed a US superstar to perform in the villa.

Rap legend Eve, who's best known for her 2001 smash hit Let Me Blow Ya Mind with Gwen Stefani, will drop bars in Mallorca later in the series.

A source said: "Eve's a fan of the show so jumped at the chance to perform.

"She's a pop legend and the islanders will go wild when she performs in the villa."

In 1999 Eve, 45, became just the third female hip hop artist in history to top the Billboard 100 album chart, following Lauryn Hill and Foxy Brown.

She had a number six hit in the UK in 2001 with Who's That Girl, before teaming up with No Doubt frontwoman Gwen for their Grammy-winning mega-hit.

Completing a hat-trick of UK top 10s, Eve released Gangsta Lovin' with Alicia Keys in 2002.

Three years later she collaborated with Stefani again on the top 10 hit Rich Girl.

She's branched out into TV and film since, appearing in US roller derby comedy Whip It with Drew Barrymore and Elliot Page and hosting CBS chat show The Talk.

Her last album, Lip Lock, was released in 2013, and she made a stunning cameo at Hyde Park's British Summer Time event last year as a guest during Gwen Stefani's comeback set.

Every series a famous act surprises contestants in the Love Island villa, performing an intimate set of hits.

The All Stars series earlier this year saw Craig David appear for a second time when he teamed up with ex-contestant-turned-musician Wes Nelson.

And the show has gone international before with its cameos.

R&B legend Ne-Yo graced the villa last summer while Sean Paul raised the temperature in the winter edition back in 2020.

All of Love Island's iconic celebrity performances

Tom Zanetti

The cheeky Leeds lad dropped by the villa in series 4 to spin some tunes at a Ministry of Sound party.

Craig David

Craig was having a major career resurgence when he dropped by the villa, and he was so good that super-fan Anton Danyluk was reduced to tears.

Sean Paul

Jamaican legend Sean has banger after banger in his arsenal, and there were screams of joy when he brought the party vibes to the South African villa in 2020.

Mabel

The following year it was Mabel's turn to get the villa dancing and she didn't disappoint. The pop star performed tracks Let Them Know and Don't Call Me Up.

Becky Hill

Jacques O'Neill's surprise exit in 2022 left a cloud over the villa, but who better to return some sunshine to island life than dance queen Becky Hill.

Joel Corry

Former Geordie Shore star Joel is familiar with the reality TV world, but he's come a long way since he was involved in dramatic storylines. These days he's a top DJ and was the perfect choice for a VIBE party.

Alfie Boe

Perhaps the most surprising guest in the show's history is classical vocalist Alfie. He unleashed his powerful voice as Ekin-Su and Davide enjoyed a romantic candlelit date in 2022.

Jax Jones and Calum Scott

Last year's winter crew were treated to a collab from Callum and Jax. The pair performed their single Whistle and were then told off by bosses for taking photos around the compound.

Ne-Yo

Smooth operator Ne-Yo had the girls in a tizz as he performed his romantic classics in series 10, with the boys accepting they'd been outclassed.

Rita Ora

Rita left the Islanders star-struck last summer as she performed single Praising You by the pool.

Craig David and Wes Nelson

There were no more tears when Craig returned for the All Stars series, but there was plenty of energy and joy as Wes came full circle as a bona fide music artist.

Ella Henderson

Ella revelled in getting her own slow-mo villa walk before performing a trio of hits ahead of the All STars finale.
