Davina McCall lands ITV wellness show Eat, Cook, Move With Davina

Davina McCall is adding a new title to her résumé: wellness host. The 59-year-old presenter will front Eat, Cook, Move With Davina on ITV, a series set to premiere in the new year. It will air on Saturday mornings, with chefs, celebrity guests and health and fitness experts joining her each episode.

The show wants to cut through the noise around health and wellbeing, separating fact from fiction, debunking myths and calling out fads. Every episode includes exercises pitched at all levels, from seasoned fitness fans to complete beginners. McCall said she loves anything that helps people feel a little better without making life more complicated.

For McCall, the series is a mix of her favourite things: brilliant food, genuinely useful advice and movement that feels actually doable. She hopes viewers leave each episode with something they want to try, and that half an hour with her sparks small changes that add up to big things.

Tom McLennan, managing director of Whisper Entertainment and executive producer, called McCall an inspiration and said it was a privilege to work with her on a show designed to make people feel good. He said the aim is helping audiences find simple changes that improve their physical and mental wellbeing, and that her passion, energy and authenticity will help viewers start their weekends feeling positive and motivated.

McCall, a mother of three, is known for her love of fitness and shares workouts on social media. Last month she revealed she has cardiovascular disease; she has previously overcome breast cancer and a brain tumour. Her career spans an MTV debut, a decade hosting the original Big Brother, the Bafta award-winning Long Lost Family, quiz show Million Pound Drop and a panellist role on The Masked Singer.
