Davina TV's most watched female

A report by Media Planning Group has found Davina to be the most watched female television presenter on British screens.

The report claims that a whopping 30,763,557 viewers -a 56% share - have seen Davina at some point throughout 2006, thanks to 'Davina', 'Sport Relief' plus, of course, 'Big Brother' and its celebrity counterpart.

Her nearest rival on the female list was X-Factor host Kate Thornton, who was seen by some 27m people, followed by Strictly Come Dancing's Tess Daly (26.3m) and This Morning hostess-with-the-mostess Fern Britton (26.2m).

However, on the overall list Davina finished an impressive fourth, behind third-place Phillip Schofield (32.4m), second-place Chris Tarrent (32.9m) and the most watched presenter on British television in 2006, Gary Lineker, who was seen by 36.5m thanks to his coverage of the World Cup.

The list also revealed that while most of the big hitters were over 45, our Davina is a spritely 39-year-old, and the youngest in the Top 5.

And for those of you bitter that Ant and Dec always win the NTA award over our Davina, they came only eighth with 26.5m viewers and a 48.3% share. Zing!

Not bad going for someone with the "turkey of the year" to their name, is it.

(PS. Merry Christmas, Davina, Matthew, Holly, Tilly and Chester.)
