The article I wrote based on this interview is included in my Ebook, At The End Of A Storm Is A Golden Sky. It fits perfectly into that anthology of inspirational interviews, simply because Davina's story, as told to me in the bar of a Dublin Hotel, is utterly inspiring. In fact when the article was published in The Sunday Independent, the headline read 'Davina's Road to Damascus'.' Its sub-headline read, "If I took one drug now I'd go back to the miserable, lowlife idiot I was," says Davina McCall. For the 'Big Brother' presenter, marriage to a model, motherhood and a successful, glamorous career have been hard-won.' Joe Jackson heard how McCall's sobriety brought great gifts.' When it was published in Hello magazine the headline was 'Davina McCall reveals how she conquered her demons and found lasting happiness.' I hope listeners find the podcast equally inspiring.
