Davina loses her footing in embarrassing Big Brother slip-up

The dark-haired TV host is famed for her vertiginous stilettos, but this time it seemed they were simply too high even for her.

She was quick to laugh off the embarrassing stumble however, and although she readily flaunted the resulting scar, she soon regained her immaculate poise.

She fell to the stage to the shock of the crowd, who didn't know whether to cheer or rush to help.

The presenter had to receive medical attention from paramedics before continuing with her broadcast.

But the inflappable host then dusted herself off and continued the show, although her injury was clearly seen for the rest of the programme.

Meanwhile listeners have bombarded Radio 2 with complaints about Davina after she stood in for Ken Bruce this week.

They said she talked too much about 'sexually orientated' subjects and kept referring to Big Brother - which she presents.

Other listeners claimed she was turning the show into a radio version of ITV daytime TV series Loose Women.

Some were offended when she told Terry Wogan she would not flash her chest at him because she had breastfed three children.

More said they were bored with her talking about her party antics and claimed she keeps 'advertising' other celebrities' books. Listeners described 39-year-old Miss McCall's noisy style as childish and puerile.

The BBC's message boards have been inundated with complaints from listeners about her tenure on the show, with more than 100 venting their feelings after she took over the reins for the first week of Mr Bruce's holiday.

Aled Jones sits in for Ken Bruce for a week from Monday.

One listener said of Miss McCall: "It's only six minutes in and I'm reaching for the off switch. I think it is the pseudo mateyness which really turns my stomach."

Another complained: "Gave her ten minutes and switched to Plymouth Sound. And that is saying something."

"She is awful, why do they persist with these people," said yet another.

This is the latest in a series of complaints by Radio 2 listeners at what is seen as dumbing-down.

Miss McCall's career was dealt a heavy blow last year after her BBC1 chat-show was panned by critics and dumped after disappointing ratings.
