Davina McCall made sure all eyes were on her when she donned a Baywatch costume in a BTS Masked Singer video on Saturday.
The TV star, 57, sizzled in a pre-recorded behind-the-scenes clip shared to her Instagram as she prepared for her stint on the ITV show.
Davina was recently forced to take a step back from her busy work schedule to undergo surgery after doctors discovered a benign tumor in her brain that affects three in a million people.
The tumor was collected from a private clinic after she was offered a health check after taking part in a lecture on menopause.
In the clip, which was taken before her brain tumor surgery, she stunned in bright red hot pants and a Pamela Anderson-inspired swimsuit.
The star paired the sassy ensemble with a pair of white slides and had her raven locks styled in bouncy curls.

The video showed Davina preparing for the talent show while her husband, hairstylist Michael Douglas, picked out her locks for the performance.
He wrote alongside the post: ‘It’s a crazy one tonight!! Everyone aboard the good ship Masked Singer this SATURDAY on @itv. It may be cold outside, but we’re in vacation mode!’
It comes as Davina revealed she feels she has been given a ‘second chance at life’ after surviving life-threatening brain tumour.
Weeks after successful surgery to remove the growth, Davina opened up about how her survival feels like a “gift” as she reflected on the success of her new Begin Again podcast.
The TV star took to Instagram on Monday to thank fans for their support of her latest project, while also reflecting on her own health journey and admitting that she felt like she had “started again.”
She explained, “Thank you for joining me on my Begin Again podcast. I had a blast recording this podcast, and I enjoyed meeting everyone.
“What I liked about recording this podcast is that it is so broad. Starting over could mean anything, it could mean something similar to what I just experienced, which was having a life-threatening tumor and having it removed.
‘I feel like I’ve started again, I mean in the weirdest sense, I think because I’ve had a positive outcome. It’s like getting a second chance at life. It feels great, almost like I’ve been given a gift.”

Davina gave Pamela Anderson a run for her money as she made her best impression

The former Big Brother host then went on to list other ways starting over affects other people, such as a huge crisis, losing a job, a divorce or an accident.
Davina added that she will be ready to support those who feel like they are ‘stagnant’ in life or just need ‘a kick in the ass’ as she opened up about her hopes and plans for the future of the podcast.
After a few moments of reflection, she concluded by saying, “I have found Christmas so challenging in the past and now I don’t find it challenging anymore. So there is always the possibility of new beginnings…always.
“I think next year is going to be a nightmare. I’m doing a lot of self-reflection!’
Davina previously explained that she was diagnosed by chance after signing up for a ‘health scan’.
She 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.
A colloidal cyst is a slow-growing tumor that is usually found near the center of the brain and contains gelatinous material. The benign growths are often asymptomatic and are found incidentally during imaging tests.
If symptoms occur as the tumor grows, they are typically reported to include headaches that are most severe in the morning upon waking, nausea, and blurred vision, with other major symptoms including dizziness and double vision.
Most patients present with headaches, although other symptoms such as dizziness, memory problems and double vision may occur.
If large enough, a colloidal cyst hinders the movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, leading to a high risk of sudden death.
