TV presenter Davina McCall has pledged to take the step up from exercise videos to become a qualified fitness instructor, in a New Year’s resolution revealed to fans on Twitter.

The former Big Brother presenter, who has released 14 fitness videos to date and published three diet books, revealed her ambition in a tweet on New Year's Day that read: “Right… my goals in 2018 are all to qualify as fitness instructor … I neeeed a qualification in that area after all this time …. #ownyourgoals”

One follower replied: “I think you could write the exam!”




McCall encouraged fans to follow her lead and share fitness goals by making a public pledge – resulting in a flurry of supportive messages from followers, as well as ideas ranging from the inspirational to the bizarre.

The mother-of-three recently released her Toned in 10 programme, as well as an F&F active range of clothing.
