Davina highlighted having had a “pretty mad year” in light of health struggles.

The beloved presenter had surgery late last year in order to remove a benign tumour.

Addressing Comic Relief viewers, she said: “Doctors found a benign brain tumour by chance and after a lot of deliberating, I had it removed.

“And it’s been quite possibly the hardest thing I’ve ever been through.

“But this whole experience, weighing up all the risks and all the positive things about having this tumour removed made me really think deeply about what life is all about.

“What really, really matters when things get tough.

“I needed the brilliance and the skill of lots of experts to make me okay.”

She added: “And oh my goodness, I’ve needed the love and support of -“

Visibly emotional, Davina took a moment to compose herself before carrying on.

The star said: “No, no I’m good, thanks guys”, as the audience applauded.

Davina continued: “My family and particularly Michael to get me through.

“And tonight and watching Billy Monger’s documentary the other night when he visited the projects really made think there are so many people who are scared.

“They’re in trouble, they’re in danger. So many. We’ve seen it tonight, right?

“And they don’t have the friends, or the money or the support that I did.

“I know I was so lucky. But, we know the experts who can help them.

“That’s what’s so brilliant I think about tonight. There are wonderful projects that we’ve seen that can totally change and turn their lives around.

“And that is what tonight is all about. Oh my gosh, you’re the people, the wonderful strangers who are always there.

“I love you guys, we love you, honestly.

“Because you, all of you, you at home, you show up for people when they are really up against it.”
