Davina McCall, 52, shows off her washboard abs as she cheekily twerks for the camera

She has embarked on a strength challenge during lockdown. 

And Davina McCall looked the peak of physical fitness as she took to Instagram on Friday to share a funny clip of herself twerking. 

The presenter, 52, showcased her washboard abs in a tight black crop top which she teamed with blue leggings.  

Davina showed off her playful side as she twerked to the camera before doing a series of dance moves during a zumba class. 

The former Big Brother host looked like she had caught the sun as she showed off her bronzed physique in the skintight sportswear. 

Davina shared the video to wish her PT friend Faye a happy birthday, she wrote: ‘This is from yesterday. Swipe left and you will see a picture of how @fayes_fitness makes me feel after a class. 

‘I wanted to post for your birthday Faye, yesterday … sorry this is late x happy birthday gorgeous. You are such a talented strong woman. And so giving and generous to others… I love you .. and everything you stand for. I have enormous respect for how hard you work and how passionate you are. Keep shining’. 

The presenter is currently adhering to strict social distancing measures in the fight against coronavirus COVID-19 by remaining at home with children, Holly, 18, Tilly, 16, and 13-year old Chester. 

But Davina admitted Britain’s precautionary defense against the killer bug has left her in emotional turmoil – and even prompted her to question her own sanity earlier this month. 

Addressing her 1.2 million followers in a short video, she said: ‘In the interest of transparency I just thought I’d let you know I’ve had one of those mornings where I’ve shouted at my children. 

‘And I’ve cried – a lot – and thought to myself my God what’s happened to you? Who are you? And then laughed a little bit, and even laughed with my kids, who I shouted at.’ 

The TV personality also revealed she had made an attempt to distract herself from self-reflection by applying make-up – with decidedly mixed results. 

She added: ‘It’s a rollercoaster, this thing. So, I’ve put some lipstick on. I mean, I’d like to say it’s helping but it’s not. But I feel OK – I mean I’m OK, I’m not going mad… well, maybe a bit.’
