The Masked Singer’s Davina McCall reveals she’s struggling with flatulence after rediscovering her love of beans

THEY say it’s better out than in, but perhaps not when Masked Singer presenter Davina Mccall has been eating baked beans.

Davina has revealed that while she has rediscovered her love of a can of Heinz, it triggered her to have, well, an unexpected flatulence problem in front of her son Chester Robertson.

Speaking to her boyfriend, celebrity crimper Michael Douglas on their Making The Cut podcast, she confessed: “So it’s been a long time since I’ve had a baked bean, a long time.

“The other night, Chester said, I really fancy some baked beans. We did fish with homemade roast potatoes, broccoli with some baked beans on the side.

“Thank God you weren’t staying at my house that night because I would have literally turned into a blimp and taken off.

"I honestly have never ever farted like that. I was horrified, I had to leave the room.

“To horrify a 14 year old boy with farts who usually finds farts funny… it was bad.”

But Michael blames the trumping on her turning 50.

He added: “Your body is changing, you break them down in a slightly different way. You’re naturally more gassy as you get older.”

Craig chips away

FRIED chicken fans got a shock at the drive-through when they were served by Strictly Come Dancing baddie Craig Revel Horwood.

The Strictly judge visited his local KFC in Southampton to practise his scathing, razor-tongued wit on unsuspecting customers as they collected their orders.

He carried out the stunt to celebrate the KFC Foundation’s launch of Get Fried, where people can pay to have famous faces “fry” their friends with banter.

All proceeds from Get Fried go to Comic Relief, with friers including the likes of BEZ from the Happy Mondays and Dom Joly.

Craig said: “It’s amazing to be part of Get Fried to raise money for the KFC Foundation and Comic Relief.

“I loved frying so many of you in person last week and encourage everyone else to get involved to fry their friends, all in aid of Red Nose Day.”

Grace is offline now

ITV is obviously getting very nervous about the new series of Line Of Duty starting this Sunday.

To ensure new cop drama, Grace – starring John Simm – didn’t coincide with the return of the BBC hit, the channel decided the show would make its debut last night.

That meant the final episode of another cop drama, McDonald & Dodds, starring Tala Gouveia and Jason Watkins, Was shelved.

But now both shows won’t return until later in the year – presumably because ITV don’t want it to go head-to-head with Line Of Duty in any way.

Midsomer Murders will fill the space left behind on a Sunday night.

It seems ITV is guilty of dodging a ratings battle.

Hub's hot for Piers

I WOULDN’T be surprised if Good Morning Britain bosses are kicking themselves for letting Piers Morgan go.

Not only have 700,000 viewers turned off since a peak of 1.9 million watched his final episode on Tuesday – a figure that beat BBC Breakfast for the first time – but the motormouth’s last appearances have achieved record results on-demand too.

Monday’s episode where Piers hit back at Meghan’s bombshell claims peaked at No2 in the ITV Hub chart based on minutes watched, behind only the Sussexes’ interview with Oprah itself.

Tuesday’s edition where he walked off set, pictured above, peaked at No3 and held on in the Top 20 for an unprecedented three days. The first episode after his exit limped into Thursday’s chart at No16.

Piers’ final two appearances are the most-watched GMB episodes since overnight on-demand reports began in late 2018, and the show has never cracked the ITV Hub top five before this week.

An ITV spokeswoman said of the TV ratings: "Last week on GMB saw two of the highest-rating shows since launch in 2014, the first on Tuesday and the second on Wednesday, which was presented by Ranvir Singh and Susanna Reid. All shows continue to be up year on year."
