Davina McCall 'struggles to talk' to boyfriend Michael Douglas as they're apart in lockdown

Davina McCall has admitted she struggles to talk to her boyfriend Michael Douglas while they're apart in lockdown.

The telly presenter, 52, has been separated from her partner while she isolates at home with her kids Holly, 18, Tilly, 16, and Chester, 13.

Davina has been dating her former hair stylist since last year, and she's admitted she finds it difficult to keep in touch via phone during the enforced separation.

However, they are connecting on the podcast they are making together.

She told OK! magazine : "Now we’re in different households, so we’re trying new things like recording together on Zoom.

"We’ll do a video podcast together and also an Instagram Live. It’s funny because Michael and I struggle to talk when we’re on the phone now because we try to save everything for our podcast!"

She also revealed she's been struggling with anxiety during the coronavirus crisis, but she's managing it by sticking to a routine and talking to her friends.

Davina went on: "I woke up today, opened my eyes and got this wave of anxiety. If you start thinking too far in advance, it becomes too much for your brain to handle..."

She added of the crisis: "I feel a lot more connected to other humans since this all happened.

"That’s because it’s been such a leveller for us all. We’re all in the same boat.

"Everybody is in danger and everybody can do something to help. The NHS is struggling and those are the people who look after all of us."
