Davina McCall has opened up about her longing to find a romantic partner.
The 51-year-old has split from her husband Matthew Roberts in 2017 after 17 years of marriage.
And now that she is getting over the divorce, she feels ready to meet someone that she can depend on.
She said, ''What I want is, I want men – and this is for my daughters and for my son and this is for me – to stand next to me as a partner.''
She continued, ''So everything is a partnership. Everything is like ‘what shall WE do about dinner’?It’s not like ‘I’m going to be at work all day and I’m going to cook dinner for you'.''
Davina says how her relationship was more unbalanced when it came to who did what and that she doesn't want that.
She added, “It used to be ‘What’s for dinner darling?’ And I’d go ‘I’ve got your slippers at the door’. It’s not like that any more, we are in a massive time of change. It’s like ‘this is how you can be a man, and find your way as a man and stand next to a woman and support her and she will support you’.”
Davina and Matthew are parents to three kids - 17-year-old Holly, 15-year-old Tilly ands 12-year-old Chester.
The TV presenter opened up about love and life to Matt Johnson and Ben Bidwell on their new podcast The Naked Professors.
She spoke about falling for ''bad boys'' when she was younger.
She said, ''There are people who make you feel confident and there are people who put you on shaky ground from the get go, and these are the kinds of relationships I sought when I was a very young girl. I always went for the bad boy, the boy who made me feel insecure, it was terrible fear.''
Does she believe in soulmates?
She said, “The soulmate thing happens when the cogs fit. The really important thing is that you keep talking, so if there is something niggling you, just talk about it because these little, it’s the little things that grow into big things. Without love, that is so hard.”
She might be single, but Davina is more than happy in her own company.
She added, ''It’s taken me a long time to get here, getting older, happier in my own skin. Age brings you lots of things but it does seem to bring a level of self knowledge which helps you be more comfortable in your own skin.”
