She burst out of her wedding bubble to return to work this weekend for the live launch of Stand Up To Cancer 2025.

A number of familiar faces were seen throughout the show, including Vicky Pattison, Claire Balding and even King Charles.

And Davina was live from Adam Brooks Hospital in Cambridge, where she remained throughout the evening.

During the broadcast, Davina emotionally opened up about her sister, Caroline, who sadly passed away from lung cancer in 2012.

She said: “I took my sister Caroline to A&E, she’d fainted and she couldn’t get up. They gave her a brain scan but then they scanned her chest and i couldn’t understand why.

“That’s when she was diagnosed with late stage lung cancer, and she died seven weeks later.

“I was holding her hand,” Davina said, her voice breaking as she held back tears.

After a breath, she continued: “And that’s why early diagnosis really matters to me.”

Caroline sadly passed away aged 50.

Talking about her beloved sister, Davina previously said: “I wish she was here so I could tell her how great life is. I never thought she would die at 50, she was a great person, she still had so much more to give. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me.”

She added: “She taught me so much in her death, she tried to look after me, she was so brave, she never cried and she never complained.’

While Stand Up To Cancer has always been something that means a lot to Davina, the charity is more poignant now more than ever, after the star has gone through her own cancer battle this year.

In November, Davina revealed she has been quietly battling breast cancer – almost a year after undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumour.

However, the 4mm lump was removed and she has been given the all clear.

Speaking on tonight’s live show, Davina said: “It feels super important to be part of the show, especially now.

“I found out back in October that I had breast cancer, and I was caught very early.”

Davina then shared that she wants to show people the process of being diagnosed from inside a hospital via the “Cancer Clinic” show, which aired straight after Stand Up To Cancer.

The show followed real patients in their appointments at the hospital, which stayed open late to let the cameras inside.
