Davina McCall: I was too young when I lost my virginity

Presenter wishes she'd waited

Davina McCall says she wishes she hadn't lost her virginity at such a young age.

And the 39-year-old presenter, who has three children with her husband Matthew Robertson, says she wants her daughters to wait until they are older.

'I lost my virginity at too young an age,' she tells the Daily Mirror. 'I won't say how young in case my granny is reading this.

'I got cajoled into it - as many young girls do. If I'd had the education that is on offer now, I probably would have had the strength to say no.

'I am very keen for my girls to learn that it is something very special and that you can only give it once within the context of a loving relationship.

'That should be as late as possible because emotionally you then have the tools to deal with it.'
