Davina McCall’s Advice for Celebrities: A Candid Conversation
You might think this is new, but…
During a conversation with her husband, Michael Douglas, on their podcast Making The Cut, Davina McCall offered some sage advice to younger celebs. She praised Fearne Cotton and highlighted the importance of mutual respect in the entertainment industry.
No Rivalry Between Celebrities
Despite working in similar fields, Davina and Fearne maintain a friendly relationship. “I think what’s interesting is — because Fearne is a different person — she often asks different questions than I would,” says Davina. They both acknowledge that their content fills the same space but never slag each other off.
Avoiding Public Disputes
Davina strongly believes in maintaining harmony within one’s professional circle: “There’s space for everybody. I actually think the world is a horrible place online and all around. If you are in the same business as someone else — entertainment, broadcasting, whatever — don’t publicly slag them off.” She stresses that such disputes serve no purpose.
A Personal Touch
Davina’s own health battles have taught her to be more positive. “I had Joe Wicks on Begin Again, and we basically fill the same kind of space with our love for exercise,” she explains. Despite their overlap in interests, they never criticized each other. Davina adds that if you have real issues with someone, it’s better to address them privately rather than publicly.
Reflecting on her friendship with Fearne Cotton, Davina says: “I’d check in with her, she’d check in with me.
But then when we both got sick, she really, really stepped up. She was amazing. And I like to hope that I reciprocated in some way.” Fearne Cotton’s surgery and recovery are also mentioned, highlighting the support between them.
Supporting Each Other
Fearne Cotton’s operation involved removing two tumors from her jaw and salivary gland after spotting unusual growth. Despite the potential severity of the procedure, she has since confirmed a successful recovery. Davina’s own health battles are also touched upon, emphasizing her “aggravatingly and annoyingly positive” outlook.
So, take note, future celebrities: mutual respect and support go a long way in the entertainment industry. Just ask Fearne Cotton and Davina McCall.
