Davina McCall 'to adopt African child'

Big Brother host Davina McCall is planning to adopt an African child, a report claims.

The TV star and her husband Matthew Robertson are believed to have sought advice over the idea from movie director Guy Ritchie, who adopted Malawian child David Banda with Madonna in 2006.

A source told The People: "Davina wanted to know if there were any pitfalls to the process of adoption.

"Ritchie was very complimentary about his experiences with David. It was very reassuring for Davina to hear.

"Guy also told Davina that it may well be worth speaking to Madonna for her thoughts - and even offered to try and put her in touch."

The presenter has already worked in Africa for the charity Save The Children, as well as making numerous appearances on Comic Relief.

McCall and Robertson already have three children together - Holly, seven, Tilly, five, and Chester, two.
