Davina McCall gets ‘goosebumps’ on Heart FM Breakfast Show
Expressing her excitement, Davina revealed she was picking up her French passport later that day at the French embassy.
Co-host Jamie Theakston asked: “So, I’m just going to have to rewind this, how come you’re picking up a French passport when you’re a Brit?”
“My mum was French and I just feel like all of the French side of my family, the close side – my grandparents, my mum, my sister – they’ve all gone and I feel like it is time, now, to acknowledge this half of me and reconnect, actually,” she explained.
“I’m not joking, it’s a very emotional day for me, I will be sobbing at the French embassy.”
Davina admitted that her appearance on BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? helped the “long” process as she had to prove that her mum lived in France.
Beaming with joy, Davina admitted she had “goosebumps” talking about it.
‘I’m European!’
When Jamie asked which passport Davina would have to show at passport control, the former Big Brother host responded: “Well when I go into Europe I’m going to show my French passport.
“I’m going to go: ‘I’m European!'”
However, when it came to football talk, a diplomatic Davina refused to reveal who she’d root for if both countries made the 2024 Euros final.
