Davina McCall hits back at Twitter backlash: 'I do not submit to my husband, nor does he submit to me'
TV personality Davina McCall was forced to defend her comments on marriage after she faced an angry backlash on Twitter.
McCall, 47, opened up about the secret behind her 16 year marriage to Matthew Robertson and appeared to suggest that women must keep their husbands “satisfied” even if they are “exhausted” to ensure they do not stray.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph she revealed that her husband has a penchant for matching underwear.
“Matthew has strong views on underwear," she said.
“You must keep your husband satisfied in the bedroom department even if you’re absolutely exhausted. Otherwise he will go somewhere else.”

After her views were branded "horrifying", McCall took to her blog to clarify her comments, writing: “I do not submit to my husband, nor does he submit to me.”
In an attempt to explain herself she continued: “My mum said, to keep your man happy, stay intimate. Sometimes, especially when the kids were very young and I was super tired,this was the last thing on my mind… has he ever coerced or pressured me? NO!!!
“But have I ever started feeling tired and finished feeling very happy? Yes!!”
