[edit] Drug use

For reference: "Why Davina never drinks", an article at Sky News about her drug use. violet/riga (t) 21:49, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Best Known for MTV?!

That's laughable, most people are unaware that Davina McCall even appeared on MTV. Apart from Big Brother, the general public associate her with prime-time light entertainment shows, not her stint on a satellite music station that few people watched in the early 1990s. 22:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC) 23:54, 19 May 2007 (UTC) No it isn't laughable that she is best known for MTV! For me as a person living outside of UK I spotted her as "that MTV presenter" when i saw her as a presenter of the Big Brother Show for the first time(thanks to torrent downloading). So for most people outside of UK I think she is most known as a presenter for MTV.

Davina is most known for presenting Big Brother in my opinion.12bigbrother12 18:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Undoubtedly. Currently that is what she is well known for. If you say Davina McCall to someone, they'll think of Big Brother before MTV. Most people don't even know she was on MTV. AndrewJDTALK -- 19:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can Davina Speak French?

Can she speak French at all?

[edit] Her children

It is possibly not a coincidence that her childrens' birth months are the same - she has said (on Big Brother's Little Brother) that the timing (at least of Chester, if not either of the others) was deliberately planned so that the birth would not interfere with Big Brother during the summer. (And "coincidentally" is spelt wrongly as well.) 213.61.246.50 11:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Celebrity Big Brother

The article mentions Davina's interview of Makosi. What about the interview of Jo O'Meara on Celebrity Big Brother 2007, which was appauling? Jo was made out to be, amongst other things, a racist by the editors of the show. She later had a nervous breakdown and attempted suicide. The problems that happended on the show were not all Jo's fault but that's what Davina's interview suggested, that's why I don't like her.

Please rememebr to sign post with 4 tildes (~~~~). If you can find a source, in this case perhaps a news page, that talks about Davina's possible bias against her (or through her by producers), then feel free to cite it into the article or post it here for someone else.

[edit] Use McCall rather than Davina

I've gone through and changed references to "Davina" to "McCall" - I think the former is too informal and surname is recommended here. Kevin Judson 21:51, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirection

Should 'Davina' really redirect to here? Yes, Davina McCall is probably the most famous Davina, but the R+B singer by that name still exists. I'd change it if I knew how, but I don't, and so I can't. Makatota 12:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
