Davina McCall shared an unusual marriage proposal story: how she almost ruined the moment.

According to The Sun: Davina McCall shared a touching story about how her boyfriend Michael Douglas proposed to her on the edge of a cliff. She admitted that she almost ruined the moment due to her bad mood.

The 56-year-old television star spoke about this special day after The Sun reported their secret engagement.

Davina told Virgin Radio that it happened in Ibiza. “It happened in Ibiza. What was quite funny is that after lunch, Michael booked a table on the beach where we had gone with the kids earlier,” she noted.

“I was not quite dressed for the occasion. When I’m in Ibiza, I’m used to dressing for Ibiza. I was in terrible cowboy boots with metal toes, not climbing gear,” she added.

“He said something nice and then got down on one knee.”

Davina also mentioned a joke that Michael shared over the past year. During quiet moments, he pretended to tie an imaginary shoelace. “At first, I thought he was proposing, but then it turned out he was just tying an imaginary shoelace, and it became a joke,” the star said.

The couple, who have been together for seven years, went to Nevada three weeks ago to celebrate their engagement at the famous Burning Man festival.

A difficult path to happiness

The love story of Davina and Michael began in the early 2000s when they first met on the Big Brother show, where he styled her hair. For many years, they remained friends and only started dating after Davina's divorce from Matthew Robertson in 2018.

The proposal came after a tough year for Davina, who underwent surgery in November to remove a benign brain tumor. She recently updated her fans about her recovery, noting that doctors predict it will take from a year to a year and a half.

It is currently unknown when exactly Davina and Michael plan to get married, but it is likely to happen no earlier than May next year, when Davina hopes to fully recover.

This story highlights not only the tenderness of the couple's relationship but also Davina's extraordinary strength, who, despite the challenges, is making significant strides on her difficult road to recovery. Her openness in communicating with fans also demonstrates the importance of support during such tough times.
