Davina McCall won’t stop wearing minidresses and purposefully chooses outfits to create a reaction

Davina McCall has been adamant that she won’t stop wearing minidresses at 55, admitting that she chooses reactionary outfits on purpose.

The Masked Singer judge often wows her fans with her edgy outfits and chic ensembles.

But Davina is aware that there are some people who ‘just can’t handle’ her revealing appearance, but they don’t care.

Speaking to Best, the presenter said: “I feel like I’m getting to that age where I risk ruining my career on a daily basis.” I feel like right now it’s manifesting itself with my clothes. Sometimes I think “What can I wear to really freak people out?”

She described a recent incident where she stepped out in a minidress with no stockings, showing off her ‘crepe knees’.

Davina said: “I was on the subway and I was thinking, ‘Yeah, look at those knees because they’re horrible and I don’t care.’ She also had white ankle socks and loafers and it was brilliant because I felt like there were some people who just couldn’t handle it.

‘It was like she was wearing crotchless panties or something. Although I felt amazing. I thought, “Yeah, I must be doing something right because I’m having a reaction, even though I’m not doing anything terrible!” I loved.’

Davina’s confession comes after she left fans divided on Sunday night when she returned to The Masked Singer UK with a long new hairstyle, complete with choppy bangs.

Her boyfriend, who is also her hairstylist, shared a behind-the-scenes look at how she created the look for the show.

Sharing the process on Instagram, Michael Douglas explained that the new look was actually a £120 wig while filming his partner’s transformation.

Michael began by dampening Davina’s hair with a water spray, before applying some taming cream and shine to her black locks.

She then tied the sleek locks into a low braid and cut it flat, away from her face.

Trying it on himself, the stylist smoothed the wig, which retails for £120 at Pak Cosmetics, while it was on his head.

The wig was then placed on Davina’s head while her partner cut her bangs to create the bespoke look for the show.

The television personality reprized her role as a celebrity judge on the show alongside Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, and Mo Gilligan.

But a far cry from her usual center-parted bob, the style left fans divided when the fourth series of the weird and wonderful ITV show began.

He caught the inevitable attention of fans as he sized up this year’s array of heavily costumed contestants.

Commenting on her new look, some made uncharitable comparisons to Gale Weathers, the fictional newscaster played by Courteney Cox in Wes Craven’s popular Scream franchise.

On Twitter, an amused viewer shared a photo of Cox in character as the precocious journalist, with the caption: “Davina giving Scream 2 vibes.”

While a second quipped: “Davina McCall may be a queen, but even she can’t get away with cutting bangs with a knife and fork…”

A third added: “Why does davina mccall look like a claudia winkleman version of the emoji?”

However, others praised the presenter for her new look, with one commenting: “Is Davina McCall aging backwards?”

While a second raved: ‘Davina McCall. What a body.’
