Davina McCall hits back and clarifies her comments about 'keeping men satisfied'

The Long Lost Family presenter gave an interview to the Daily Telegraph over the weekend where she talked about making an effort to please her husband Matthew Robertson, even when she didn’t feel like it.

She said: “Matthew has strong views on underwear. You must keep your husband satisfied in the bedroom department, even if you’re absolutely exhausted. Otherwise he will go somewhere else.”

But not everyone was pleased with her advice…

So Davina took to her blog to explain her comments further.

She wrote: “Argggghhhhhh! I’ve got myself in a controversy!!!! In the paper this weekend I talked about a couple of things that I would like to explain further… So I thought I would tell you in my own words what I mean.

“Firstly, I do like to wear matching underwear… no biggy… I don’t do it for Matthew… I do it for me. Does he like my matching nude t-shirt bra and pants? No, not particularly… does that stop me wearing it..? No.

“If I want to feel hot and sexy I wear nice undies… if I’m at work, and for practicality, I wear really boring ones… but always matching.”

She went on: “Right, next… my husband… I do not submit to my husband, nor does he submit to me. My mum said, to keep your man happy, stay intimate.

“Sometimes, especially when the kids were very young and I was super tired, this was the last thing on my mind… has he ever coerced or pressured me? NO!!! But have I ever started feeling tired and finished feeling very happy? Yes!! Can’t really believe I am discussing this… And every single woman I know feels the same.

“Really what my mum was saying, and I also believe, is that if intimacy goes, for months, or a year, then it’s super hard to get back and it becomes ‘a thing’. I love Matthew… and neither of us want that to happen… so we work at it! Together… I hope I make sense!”

Plenty of Davina’s fans were supportive about the misunderstanding.
