TV presenter and mum-of-three Davina McCall is one busy lady.The 55-year-old was recently announced as the host of an upcoming ITV dating show, The Romance Retreat – a so-called “middle-aged” Love Island. Davina, who coupled up with partner Michael Douglas in her fifties and pitched the new show to ITV, is unsurprisingly passionate about the project.
She’s now set to juggle this exciting venture with her other work commitments – her fitness platform Own Your Goals and her Making The Cut podcast, described as the ”TripAdvisor for your life”, which she co-hosts with hairdresser Michael. So how does she find time to stay stylish, keep fit and launch a new clothing collection with Amanda Holden?

Did you feel there was a space for an older version of Love Island? I felt it was so important that I wrote to ITV 18 months ago and I said, “You guys need to do a midlife dating show.” Also, I love Love Island. Do you think it’s important that relationships in middle-age are well represented? Yes.
My original idea was to keep the Love Island villa going then to fly out myself with a load of midlifers who want to find love. I then wrote case studies about my friends with amazing backstories [as part of the pitch].These are people who have really lived a life and got to a point where maybe they have been single for years or just got divorced.
I’ve met people in the last two weeks who, when they talk about coming on the show and I talk to them about their story, start crying as they want it. Shop it: Davina's jacket is £68 here What do
