Davina McCall has reassured fans that she's well enough to continue with her gruelling Sport Relief triathlon after causing concern following her 1.5-mile swim of Lake Windermere on Monday morning. The 46-year-old presenter, who admitted last week that she was terrified about the prospect of the swim, was seen having to be dragged out of the water after finishing the stretch. But as she embarked on the next section of her 500-mile journey from Edinburgh to London - a 65-mile bike ride to Monday's finishing point in Accrington - Davina dismissed concerns about her health with a positive message to her supporters. 'I'm fine': Davina McCall reassured fans that she'll continue with her Sport Relief triathlon as she embarked on a 65-mile cycle ride on Monday .

I’ve warmed up now, I’ve had a nice bath and I’m ready to get on the bike.' As well as a bath, Davina was seen indulging in a burger and chips for a much-needed calorie and energy boost. And the mother-of-three certainly looked in better spirits as she tucked in - a sharp contrast to her worrying appearance after the Windermere swim just hours earlier.
