THE ex-wife of Davina McCall’s hairdresser boyfriend Michael Douglas was in tears yesterday over their romance.

Pals said Tracey Douglas, 50, was “devastated” to learn he had fallen for the TV star — just months after they ended their marriage.

The Sun exclusively revealed yesterday that divorced Davina, 51, is smitten with 45-year-old celebrity stylist Michael.

Friends claimed Tracey had no idea about Michael’s romance with Davina — who split from husband of 17 years, Matthew Robertson, in November 2017.

Speaking at her home in St Albans, Herts, a tearful Tracey said: “I’m just not ready to talk about this.”

A source said: “She knew Davina through Michael, as they had worked together for 19 years.

“Davina had met their children and was the last person Tracey ever thought Michael would end up with.

“The family had been there for Davina during her split with Matthew — and Michael was very much a confidante to her.

“So Tracey knew all the ins and outs and was supportive.

“To find out they are dating, and that they’d been showing off their new relationship in public was an absolutely devastating blow for Tracey.

“She’s been crying a lot and trying to get her head around it.”

Mum-of-three Davina and Michael went public at the Chelsea Flower Show on Monday and have been snapped canoodling.

The source added: “Michael and Tracey split last year. He moved to a property a short distance away so he could be close to their two sons.

“She remained at the family home and although they were not together, Michael and Tracey had managed to remain civil.”

A pal insisted Michael’s relationship with Davina only started once his marriage had ended.

Davina made no secret about her close friendship with Michael and previously called him “one of my favourite people” when sharing a link to a Podcast he had appeared on.
