Davina shared a video filmed backstage ahead of The Masked Singer final. She can be seen show-ready in a gorgeous red dress with her hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail as she attempts to call her youngest.

"I'm just phoning my son. This is what parenting looks like during half-term," she tells viewers. "He's not picking up…This does not bode well. He's 16. He's probably out on the razzle-dazzles. And where am I? I'm working...

Davina shares her three children with ex-husband Matthew Robertson

She said: "When I first heard that I was like, 'Are you kidding me', because the stuff they will just come and talk to me about…But the amazing thing is, when my daughter comes to talk to me and asks to come back from a party at one, in my head I'm going, 'Not on your Nelly'. But then we compromise.

"I phoned up the mums and found out all her friends were all getting picked up at 23.30, so I said, 'How about midnight' and so she then felt like she won, and I felt like I have won a bit too. We then don’t have the slamming of the doors."
