Who has Davina McCall dated?

Matthew Robertson

Davina McCall married Matthew Robertson in 2000

Matthew started out in TV, like his wife, hosting Pet Rescue and appearing in Sam’s Games.

Matthew and Davina starred in Sam’s Games together, a comedy which began in 2001 and tracked the lives of four friends who got involved in each other’s lives while renting flats in a large house in London.

Davina starred as Sam, and Matthew played a guy in a cafe who had a crush on her.

The pair – who stayed close for almost two decades – married the same year on June 29, 2000, at a lavish ceremony at Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire.

However, the Sun exclusively revealed in November 2017 how Davina’s marriage was over, with the star admitting: “I have made so many mistakes in my life.”

Davina shared a motivational quote with her online followers which said: “Every morning we get a chance to be different. A chance to change. A chance to be better.

“Your past is your past. Leave it there. Get on with the future part.”

Davina added on Instagram: “I really know about this one. I have made so many mistakes in my life. But there is always a new day.”

She then confirmed she had split with Matthew, father to her three children, after 17 years of marriage.

She said: “I am very sad to say Matthew and I have separated. Our amazing children are our number one priority.”

HOAR on Sunday revealed there was no third party involved.

The TV star agreed to give up at least £2.5million to secure a quick divorce.

In January 2020, The Masked Singer judge broke her silence over their split, calling it “absolute emotional turmoil”.

Andrew Leggett

Davina married shop manager Andrew Leggett in 1997 and divorced him in 1999.

The pair first met in March 1997, and married only six months later before splitting in December.

Davina has said very little about her first marriage.

Does Davina McCall have children?

Davina has three children, Holly, 18, Tilly, 16, and Chester, 13, – who she keeps away from the limelight.

She shares her three children with ex-husband Matthew Robertson.

During an appearance on heritage show Who Do You Think You Are? Davina revealed that she was the great-granddaughter of Celestin Hennion, Prefect of Police, who had a role in the French political scandal The Dreyfus affair between 1894 and 1906.

What is Davina’s net worth?

Davina’s net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth, is an estimated £3.2million ($4million).

She also owns property said to be worth in excess of £8million – with a Georgian mansion worth £4.3million, a £1.5million St Tropez villa and a £1million Surrey manor in her portfolio.

This is taking into account the money she has earned for personal appearances, and the royalties she’s earned from her exercise DVDs.

She also has an app and receives money from endorsement deals with brands such as Garnier Nutrisse – starring in ads opposite Holly Willoughby and Angela Scanlon.
