Davina McCall’s daughter Holly tested positive for Covid-19 after returning to university.

The TV presenter said she had been at Newcastle University for ‘a week’ before contracting the virus.

However she is ‘relieved’ that her daughter has had it.

Speaking to boyfriend Michael Douglas on their podcast Making The Cut, they joked about calling the virus ‘the Covids’.

‘I can’t call it Covid any more, I just call it the Covids’ Davina said, ‘like “Somebody had a touch of the Covids”.’

Michael explained that he and his son had been for a coronavirus test and the result came back negative.

When his partner asked how ‘annoyed’ he was about it, Michael said: ‘We were very annoyed because both of us had a sore throat, and a temperature and runny nose, I thought great, having an illness if it’s worth it it’s worth it. But it wasn’t worth anything.’

Davina replied: ‘Whereas my daughter got it. Tested positive and everything. She is a very positive person.

‘She went to Newcastle University and was there a week and got Covid.

‘Can you imagine an influx of 50,000 students from all over the country and none of them are social distancing?’

‘They wanna snog and touch and feel and grope right?’ Michael added. ‘That’s what university’s for, for goodness’ sake. You don’t learn anything there it would seem.

‘That’s a great relief that she’s had it, and it’s done and dusted.’

‘I do feel like that’ Davina agreed.

When she noted that hairdresser Michael was clearing his throat, he said: ‘The Coke Zero is just really frothing in my throat. Other colas are available.’

The pair are believed to have started dating in 2018. Davina’s marriage to ex-husband Matthew Robertson ended in 2017. They share kids Holly, 18, Tilly, 16, and Chester, 13.

In May she tweeted that her daughter would be starting university in September.

Almost 28,000 people were infected with coronavirus a day in the first week of October, according to data from the Office for National Statistics, with nearly 1000 students testing positive in one week at Durham University.
