Davina: 'I've had marriage counselling'

Davina McCall has revealed that counselling helped save her marriage to Matthew Robertson.

The Big Brother host told Marie Claire that she and her husband sought professional help when they experienced difficulties in their relationship.

She explained: "We had this stumbling block and every time we started talking about it, we'd have a row. So we needed a mediator to say: 'Hang on a minute, let Matthew talk. Right Davina, how do you feel?'

"Afterwards we were like: 'Blimey. We've achieved in 90 minutes what we've been trying to talk about for six weeks.'"

McCall, who has three children with Robertson, claimed that counselling helped reinforce their eight-year marriage.

"It was the best thing we've done and I've recommended it to a lot of friends," she said. "I can't imagine ever being with anybody else now. I'm so ensconced with Matthew I don't know what I'd do without him. I'd be lost."
