In Davina's book Lessons I've Learned she has revealed that she a difficult relationship with her mum growing up. Davina's mum Florence passed away in 2008 and the television presenter previously admitted when she found out her mum has died: "I felt a sense of relief that I could stop swinging from side to side.

"And I also think, 'Please God, when I die, don't let it be a relief to anybody'," she told the Daily Mail.

And now Davina has opened up about the reason she cut her mum out of her life. Appearing on Loose Women, Davina explained: "My mum sold a story, I'd just built bridges with my mum we had a complicated relationship and she sold a story about our wedding and the fact that I go to narcotic anonymous meetings.

"And that we'd gone to a meeting just before the wedding and sort of implied that I was about to relapse just before we get married, which I wasn't at all.

"I'd never been so happy in fact; I was the least likely to relapse ever."

The 49-year-old television presenter then told the panellists that her mother sold pictures of her honeymoon even though Davina herself hadn't sold any wedding or honeymoon photos.

"I never saw her again and my children never met her because of it. So it's really devastating that lack of trust."

She then explained that after the confrontation, her mum did the exact same thing AGAIN. Although, she later clarified: "My mum was an amazing woman, I just don't think she knew how to behave to be a mum or to be a human because selling a story on somebody is awful on a human level."
