Davina McCall divides The One Show viewers with very slinky 'nightie' dress

Davina McCall divided The One Show viewers last night with her choice of outfit.

The mum-of-three, 54, was on the programme raising awareness about the menopause - but fans couldn't get over The Masked Dancer judge's silky slip dress.

Davina looked stunning wearing the black number, which showed off her impressive tan, but some viewers asked whether it was appropriate for the BBC show, which airs at 7pm.

One asked: ""#TheOneShow why is Davina wearing a nightie?"

Another tweeted: "Is Davina going out clubbing after #theoneshow?"

While a third mused: "#theoneshow Davina in some sort of lingerie type slip."

However, other viewers loved Davina's fashion statement, with one posting: "Davina looks like she’s dressed for a night out, I mean I guess if you’ve got it flaunt it."

While another said: "Wow how amazing does @ThisisDavinalook on #theoneshow #davina Thanks so much for all the #Menopause awareness."

The star was speaking to hosts Jermaine Jenas and Alex Jones about the effects of menopause and perimenopause to mark Menopause Awareness month.

Perimenopause means "around menopause" and refers to the time during which the body makes the transition to menopause, when periods stop due to lower hormone levels.

Explaining she was 43 when she began experiencing symptoms of the condition, the Long Lost Family host revealed she had encountered frightening "brain fog" that made her break down in tears.

Pointing out that because she had no hot flushes - a symptom usually associated with the menopause - Davina admitted she didn't know what was happening to her.

However, her "brain fog" became so severe, the star said it put her off driving after dark and led her to accidentally forgetting celeb interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's name.

"It was literally like a blank page," she confessed.

Having been taken aside by a colleague, Davina admitted she broke down in tears.

"I thought 'I am going mad', I felt so lonely. I had nowhere to turn," she told Alex and Jermaine. "I was like 'where do I turn?'"

Davina now regularly posts workout videos on her Instagram page to help alleviate symptoms of the perimenopause and menopause.

She also has a new book called Menopausing: The Positive Roadmap To Your Second Spring following an awareness-raising Channel 4 TV show Sex, Mind and the Menopause.

"A bit of understanding goes a long way," she said on The One Show, adding she hopes to educate more men about the effects of the menopause.

Davina also explained that itchy skin, dry eyes, dry mouth and low libido are symptoms of the condition, prompting one viewer to tweet: "Davina looks incredible. She’s doing a fantastic job, spreading awareness of the menopause."
