She is of English Nationality and White ethnicity. Growing up was anything but fun for Davina as barely three years after her birth, her parents got divorced thereby leaving her in the care of her grandparents. Following their divorce, her mother moved to Paris. However, she got to see her mom during the holidays, but the experience was far from memorable given her mother’s love for drinking.

Upon graduation from high school, she joined a band called Lazy Bears, but after a little while, she decided to quit the band and pursue her career as a solo Artist. Her career as a singer was however cut short when she got frustrated with her lack of impact in the music industry. After quitting music, she got herself a front desk job as a booker in Models 1. After a little while, she quit her job and relocated to Paris where she ran a restaurant for two years before returning to London. On her return, she found herself a job as a hostess in a local nightclub in London. During her time working in the club, she got highly addicted to drugs and soon began to be a problem at work. It took the help of her very good friend, Eric Clapton, who made her seek rehabilitation, before landing her a job at MTV in 1992. At MTV, she was first tasked with the job of being a presenter on the show Ray Cokes’ Most Wanted before going to present on the Hitlist UK.

Her big break, however, came in the year 2001 when she was appointed as a presenter in the maiden edition of Big Brother. She was also charged with the responsibility of hosting the weekly eviction show.

The English TV Presenter has been married twice in her life. Her first marriage was in 1997 to actor Andrew Legget. But their marriage only lasted for three months before they got divorced. After her divorce, she took time off from dating until 2000 when she met Pet Rescue Presenter and former model, Matthew Robertson. The most interesting thing about their relationship was how they met each other.

According to Davina, she was taking her dog on a walk around the West London Park when she spotted Matthew and just felt the need to say Hello. After exchanging pleasantries, Matthew took the cue by starting a conversation with her which lasted for over an hour. The pair eventually got married later that year in a lit ceremony in Easter Castle, Hertfordshire. They have three children by the names of Holly, Tilly, and Chester.

After 16 years of marriage, their love turned sour with Davina filling for divorce in 2017. Reports have it that she even had to offer Matthew a whooping sum of $2 million to give her a quick divorce.
