Davina McCall made a surprise appearance on I’m A Celeb on Saturday, just weeks after her shock brain tumor surgery.
Left-wing show hosts Ant and Declan, 57, were both stunned and excited when they took part in their Instagram Live after the main show.
Davina underwent the surgery after revealing she had a ‘very rare’ colloidal cyst which only affects three in a million people and would require surgery.
And while she recovered, she sent the duo a message that read, “Hey everyone! Still here’ alongside a laughing emoji, as cheers broke out in the I’m A Celeb studio, according to The mirror.
Delighted Dec said: ‘Hey Davina McCall is here everyone!’ before Ant interjected: “Hope you’re feeling well and sending you lots of love from the jungle.”

As members of the crew shouted: ‘We love you Davina!’ the former Big Brother presenter then posted that she was ‘signing off’.
While Ant joked: ‘We were too much for her, we were too loud.’
Earlier this week Davina’S partner Michael Douglas released a huge update, and wrote on her Instagram after the surgery: “Update folks. Thank you to all well-wishers. She has really made a huge leap forward in the past 24 hours.
‘She is no longer in intensive care. She likes consciousness. Thank you xx Michael.”
The grid post then read: ‘Update – Mega progress in the last 24 hours. A huge relief to see some light breaking through. Thanks for all the good vibes coming in from all corners. Up and up.”
Her fans were quick to comment on the post, sending their love and sharing their relief.
Last weekend it was announced that she had not undergone surgery and was ‘recovering in intensive care’.
Michael shared another health update after her surgery, saying the surgery was “textbook” and she was grateful for everyone’s support.

He wrote: ‘Hey everyone, Davina had surgery and according to the surgeon it was textbook!
‘She is currently recovering in intensive care as a precaution, you can imagine she is completely exhausted.’
Michael added: Thank you so much for all the love from everyone here… it’s super powerful stuff, we’re super grateful. Michael xx’
Davina explained that she was diagnosed by chance after signing up for a ‘health scan’.
Davina said in a video: ‘I was offered a health scan which I thought I would pass, but it turned out I had a benign brain tumor, which is very rare, three in a million.
‘I buried my head in the sand for a while, saw a few neurosurgeons, had quite a few opinions and realized I had to get them out.
‘It’s quite big, 14mm wide and needs to come out because if it grows it would be bad. I’ll have it removed.’
She added, “Say a prayer for me. I’m in a good mood.’
Davina explained that although she was not at immediate risk, doctors were concerned that the tumor could grow larger and cause complications.
She revealed that she was feeling “up and down” and explained that she would be in hospital for at least nine days before coming home.
