In the latest issue of Women’s Health magazine, the mum of three said of her recovery: “I felt like my memory was coming back and I was feeling stronger in myself, in my mind.

“But working on my body was going to be the last bit of joy to come back to my life.” 

Meanwhile, Davina’s brain surgeon Kevin O’Neill revealed that he listened to ABBA as he carried out her complex five-hour operation

The 62-year-old neurosurgeon says life-saving surgery gets so stressful that his hand could start shaking so he uses music to calm himself.

When the top brain expert was asked if he listened to ABBA during The Masked Singer star’s surgery in November he said: “Oh, I was. I love ABBA in theatre.

“Some people like silence to focus — sometimes you do need that — but it’s about balancing stress with performance.

“Stress can actually improve your performance to a certain extent, until it becomes excessive and then it paralyses you and it gives you the shakes.

“So you’ve got to have mechanisms to control that and one of them is to put some music on.”

He added that he’s such a fan of the Swedish superstars that he’s twice been to see their avatar show Voyage.
