Davina McCall has said she feels bad about allowing her children to watch TV.
She told Psychologies magazine: “I only let them watch 15 minutes in the morning, and an hour after dinner, if I’m honest I feel bad about that hour, it’s not good for kids to watch telly – it definitely affects their behaviour.”
