Who is Davina McCall's ex-husband?
Davina McCall's ex-husband Matthew Robertson is a TV presenter who hosted popular animal show, Pet Rescue, in the late 90s and early 00s.
The programme showed both heart-wrenching and hopeful stories of abandoned and injured animals who were given a second chance thanks to the RSPCA.
Matthew also appeared in comedy TV show Sam's Games, in which he starred as a man who had a crush on the lead character – played by Davina.
After allegedly meeting while walking their dogs on Clapham Common, the two fell head over heels for each other and married on 29th June, 2000, in a beautiful ceremony at Eastnor Castle in Hertfordshire.
The duo then renewed their wedding vows fifteen years later during a ceremony at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
At the time, the Big Brother presenter said: "I'm very lucky, because as far as I know I've married a really faithful guy."

The fitness fanatic split from ex-husband Matthew in 2017, just two years after the couple renewed their vows.

Our amazing children are our number one priority, above everything else so therefore we ask for as much space and respect from the media as possible while our family goes through this difficult time."
The news came as a shock to many of her fans, who had them pegged as one of the happiest couples in showbiz.
At the time she wrote on social media: “I really know about this one. I have made so many mistakes in my life. But there is always a new day.”
Davina’s marriage allegedly ended with a £2.5 million quickie divorce and according to The Sun on Sunday, there was no third party involved.

Does Davina McCall have a boyfriend?
Back in May 2019, it was reported by Hello! that Davina had moved on with long-term friend of 20 years and celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas.

A source told The Sun at the time: "The romance blossomed from a place of friendship and trust and the couple are just enjoying each other’s company and having a laugh.
"Davina especially likes Michael’s sense of humour and kind nature. It’s still fairly early days but Davina’s mates think Michael is a good guy."
