Davina McCall was a television presenter.

Biography

By December 2023, Davina was the host of a television series that aimed to reunite "foundlings" with their families, by using DNA samples to search for an individual's genetic heritage against a database.

In early December 2023, she filmed a segment of the show with Ruby Sunday, who had been abandoned nearly nineteen years prior, however the production was cut short after a heavy studio light nearly fell on Ruby and an electrical plug ricocheted against the back of Davina's head, as the goblins began to weave bad luck into Ruby's life.

Following that day, Davina was plagued by bad luck herself, being hit, thrown, bumped, knocked off a boat on dry land, and trampled by a moose, resulting in a broken arm and a leg, restricting her to the use of a wheelchair.

On Christmas Eve, she called Ruby to inform her that the DNA search had been in vain as there were no matches, and to ask her if she had been experiencing bad luck as well. The telephone call was cut short when a goblin attempted to make a Christmas tree fall on her, which initially succeeded and killed her, but she was saved by the Fifteenth Doctor who had travelled back in time from later that day.
