Written by on 28/11/2017

Davina McCall has separated from husband Matthew Robertson after 17 years of marriage.

Her announcement comes days after she shared a post on Instagram saying she had made "so many mistakes" in her life, but that "there is always a new day".

in a statement, the 50-year-old TV presenter said the couple’s "amazing children" were their priority during a "difficult time".

She said: "I am very sad to say that Matthew and I have separated.

"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."

McCall has two daughters, Holly and Tilly, and a son named Chester, with ex-Pet Rescue presenter Robertson who she married in June 2000.

She presented Channel 4’s Big Brother reality show for its 11 series run between 2000 and 2010, as well as Celebrity Big Brother between 2001 and 2010.

She was previously married to actor Andrew Leggett.
