Think you’re at the Menopause age? Join Davina McCall as she reveals what drove her to seek help

Here’s how you can tune in to her one hour-long discussion as part of a free live event for World Menopause Day aimed to get women talking about their health struggles.

Davina McCall has revealed “messing up” her autocue was one of the signs she was going through the perimenopause.

Ahead of World Menopause Day on Sunday 18th October, woman&home readers have access to an exclusive clip of Davina in action.

The TV presenter talks all things connected to the menopause alongside fellow Menopause Charity ambassadors Lorraine Kelly, Liz Earle and Menopause specialist Dr Louise Newson.During the 4-way chat, Davina, 53, recalled, “I couldn’t read autocue. My eyesight went funny and I was messing up on words all the time."

"I even got asked by a producer who I work with all the time, they said, ‘Are you OK or is something going on because you’re not your usual self here with work’. And I was like, ‘Yes I’m fine’ but I was thinking ‘What is wrong with me?’ I was having periods but they were just a little bit different. So I thought I’m still having periods, I’m not menopausal. I didn’t understand what the perimenopause was.”

Meanwhile Lorraine, 60, said her menopause “crept up” on her. She described feeling very tired and miserable, so she consulted Dr Hilary and Dr Louise on her symptoms.
