Big Brother presenter Davina McCall is said to be considering adopting an African child.

McCall and her husband Matthew Robertson are rumoured to have asked Guy Ritchie for advice knowing that he had adopted Malawian child David Banda with Madonna in 2006.

A source told The People: “Davina wanted to know if there were any pitfalls to the process of adoption.

“Ritchie was very complimentary about his experiences with David. It was very reassuring for Davina to hear.

“Guy also told Davina that it may well be worth speaking to Madonna for her thoughts – and even offered to try and put her in touch.”
