Davina McCall has revealed how she thought she had a "brain tumour" after making a mistake during the onset of her menopause.The former Big Brother host, 54, has opened up about her experience with menopause and its early stages during an appearance on BBC's Sunday Morning show. Speaking to BBC host Sophie Raworth, Davina explained her difficulties with the early stages of menopause, known as perimenopause. She explained: "For me when I lost those hormones – or in fact in perimenopause, the hormones go up and down so you think you’re going completely mad – I felt that it aged me, I felt that I was going to be irrelevant, I felt embarrassed because I’d always been at the top of my game."

I was extremely proud of my list-making and my logistical practicality and the fact that I could multitask, and it just went. I was a mush. "So when somebody asked me if I was OK because I messed up on a TV programme, I said 'yes', and then when she shut the door and went away, I just burst into tears because I thought, 'I’m not OK, I think I’ve got a brain tumour or Alzheimer’s or something.
Help me'." Davina is campaigning to raise awareness of the hormone replacement therapy (HRT) crisis. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment to relieve symptoms of the menopause. It replaces hormones that are at a lower level as you approach the menopause, according to the NHS.
