Davina McCall has opened up about "crying in anger" while filming a documentary about the menopause.
In Channel 4 series, titled Davina McCall: Sex, Myths And The Menopause, the 53-year-old interviews women about their experiences.
Davina said after filming she would sometimes return home after filming and “sit down and cry.”
“I get home after filming and sometimes I just sit down and cry…,” she confessed. “From deep frustration and anger at how we are failing women.”
The presenter continued to Daily Mail : “This film isn’t just for menopausal women, it’s for their partners, their fathers, their brothers, and their sons."
Menopause is still rarely openly discussed and Davina was overwhelmed over how women are treated over the subject.
Earlier this year, the Masked Singer panelist shared her fear that she was developing Alzheimer’s while going through menopause.
She began going through perimenopause nine years ago and told doctors at the time she was experiencing memory loss.
Davina feared she was developing Alzheimer's as her father, Andrew, also suffers from it, but was told she was experiencing "cognitive overload".
She has been on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help cope with some of the harder effects of menopause.
Speaking to Gabby Logan on the podcast The Mid Point, Davina revealed: "I'm on HRT so I have absolutely no excuse to be going doolally but I’m still going doolally on the HRT.
"I am less angry. I don't get night sweats. I don't get hot flushes. These are the things that have gone."
She added: "My joints feel, my bones feel lubricated and strong, but my memory, and like you Gabby, I work, I've got kids, I have a partner.
"Life is very busy and chaotic and you have to know a lot of stuff in your business about sort of everything. And I do lots of different jobs. So I have a hundred different hats on.
"I could be going from Long Lost Family one day, to The Masked Singer the next, to a Garnier job, to something else.”
