Davina McCall breaks down in tears at National Television Awards
Davina McCall wiped away tears as she showed a range of emotions at the 2024 National Television Awards (NTAs). The iconic television presenter was recognised for her showbiz career, which has spanned a number of decades, as she headed on to stage to collect a Special Recognition award.
The audience laughed with her and cried with her as ITV aired a montage of her work, including hosting Big Brother, My Mum Your Dad and Long Lost Family. Celebrity friends including This Morning's Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary comforted her as the video tape showed what she meant to them.
In the clip, Dermot described her as "kind, generous, smart and funny", while The Traitors' Claudia Winkleman said she was "totally authentic". She added: "She is exactly as you see her."
As the video played, a smaller preview of Davina appeared in the corner showing her gasping and throwing her hand to her mouth in shock. As people continued to spout words of praise about the 56-year-old, tears appeared in her eyes and she appeared to be sobbing while wiping them away.
