Davina McCall says fewer parents are suffering from 'empty nest syndrome' these days, as rising house costs mean children stay at home for longer.

As young adults across the country head to university, the presenter says she's comforted by the knowledge they are part of the 'boomerang generation'.

Now, after they initially leave, they tend to come back to stay in the parental home more frequently than before.

Davina revealed she has reached a 'nice place', where she sees her children often enough, but has her own freedom.

She has three children with her second husband, Pet Rescue presenter Matthew Robertson: Holly, 23, who went to Newcastle University, Tilly, 21, just back from Australia, and Chester, 19.
