Davina McCall and her husband, Michael Douglas, were all smiles after attending the after-party for the Broadcast Awards on Wednesday night.
The 58-year-old television presenter dazzled in a silver sequined gown as she exited the celebration held at London’s JW Marriott Hotel.
Michael, 49, who tied the knot with Davina late last year after a six-year relationship, showcased his fashion-forward flair in a striking blue suit.
The evening was particularly special for Davina as her popular ITV show, Long Lost Family, was honored by being inducted into the Hall of Fame, celebrating 15 successful years on air.
Netflix emerged as the evening’s standout winner, with its acclaimed drama Adolescence and the documentary Grenfell: Uncovered propelling the streaming giant to make history as the first of its kind to receive the Broadcaster of the Year award.
The shows won Best New Drama and Best Documentary Programme respectively, while BBC won a total of nine awards, including Best Comedy for Here We Go and Best Specialist Factual Programme for Helmand: Tour of Duty.

Davina revealed her breast cancer diagnosis to her fans, though, she had detected it early after noticing a lump and getting it checked, leading to a successful lumpectomy.Â
Last month she confirmed she completed her course of preventative radiotherapy and became emotional about the treatment coming to an end.
Speaking in an Instagram video, she said: ‘I finished my radiotherapy today, and it was very, very emotional.’
Davina then paused for a moment and held back tears as she added: ‘Much more emotional than I thought it would be.
‘And I need a bit of positivity and brilliance, so I’m going to go and watch Julia Bradbury on Begin Again.’Â
Davina recently revealed she is stepping back from full-time work after her breast cancer diagnosis served as a stark wake-up call.

The TV star described the overhaul as essential after facing two major health scares in quick succession – a rare brain tumour in 2024, followed by cancer.
Speaking candidly on the Miss Me? podcast on Monday, the Masked Singer judge admitted the double health blow had forced her to confront a lifetime of running from change and overworking.
Davina, who married hairdresser Michael, 49, in December, explained while her brain tumour had initially prompted reflection about reducing stress, it was the subsequent breast cancer diagnosis that truly forced her hand. Â
‘I had an amazing breakthrough when I got clean in the early nineties,’ she said, referring to her heroin and alcohol addiction in her twenties.
‘I had another huge breakthrough after I had my brain tumour removed. I realised that I needed to de-stress my life.
‘Interestingly, I realised that – but then the breast cancer, which I thought was a very, very frightening thing, made me realise that I really, really had to put that into place. And I have now.’
She continued: ‘I’m going to work a four-day week. I feel so much better now about my life and trying to get it more balanced.
‘So now, really, as I hit this stage of my life, I want to take more care of myself. That is my latest project: me, because I can’t take care of anyone else if I’m not okay.’
The 14mm growth was discovered during a health scan offered as part of her menopause advocacy work.
Following a six-hour operation, Davina spent several days in intensive care before making what doctors described as a remarkable recovery.
