‘They are very welcoming. All my mates are there, it’s a social thing and they inspire me.’

The presenter has always spoken very openly about her previous addiction battles and wants to help others who find themselves in a similar situation.

‘I started talking about it a long time ago because I wanted to tell people in my own words,’ she confessed.

‘I’m talking 25 years ago so it was especially shocking back then. I was the only presenter who had been an addict.’

Davina added,'“Even us talking about this now is incredible because 20, 25 years ago it wouldn’t have happened which is ­fantastic – but we all still need to do more. In so many things, LGBT, mental health, addiction, poverty, racism, let’s just keep going forward.

'What’s important is it is not embarrassing ­any more and it’s not looked down upon to seek help. The main thing, whether it is mental health or addiction, is just that people talk about it.'

Preach it Davina.
