Hollyoaks' Davinia Taylor reunites with son for first time in four months after lockdown

Ex Hollyoaks actress Davinia Taylor has shared her excitement at being reunited with her 12-year-old son after they've spent the last four months apart.

Due to travel restrictions in lockdown, Davinia - who is based in Malaga - has been unable to see her eldest child Grey since March.

The youngster has instead been staying in the UK with his dad Dave Gardner and step-mum Liv Tyler.

Davinia took to Instagram to share her excitement as she prepared to fly to Barcelona to meet them.

"Oh my god, I'm so excited! It's stupid o'clock in the morning and I'm gonna go and get my son. I've not seen him for four months!" she cried.

Discussing their plans, she went on: "I'm gonna get Grey from Barcelona. I'm gonna spend the night with him in Soho House and have a nice meal, do a bit of bonding, good bit of chatting.

"No doubt, he'll just absolutely not give a t**s, because he's nearly 13. But I'm so excited and then I'm bringing him home to his brothers and his new dogs," said the jubilant mum.

Later when Davinia arrived at Malaga airport she expressed her joy at how quiet it was.

"It's just the most civilised way to travel," she told her followers. "It reminds me of how it must have been in the 70s or the early 80s when not everybody travelled every day by plane. It's just so empty.

"There's half the amount of terminals and you don't even have to walk that far. It's am absolute joy. And there's no crowds or anything because of the two metre rule. Positively civilised."

Davinia hit the headlines last week after revealing her incredible weight loss.

While she was at the airport, the actress showed how committed she is to her new regime by doing lunges to pass the time.

Davinia told how she's gone from a size 16 to trim 8 by sharing her before and after pictures.

She credited running, saunas and intermittent fasting for helping her transform her figure.

She added: "Detox, reduce inflammatory foods, run, sauna, supplement, wim Hof, cold exposure, NAD+, nootropics kombucha, intermittent fasting, gut health , knowing my genes...

"All these protocols have helped me stay mentally healthy and if I do that the body follows suit!!
