Toned to perfection: Davina McCall seemed to have got her mojo back, taking to social media to share a snap of her impressively defined abs

Davina captioned the snap: 'Look ! I have little baby feet in the most peculiar place.... so, anyhoo really really didn't feel the force today ...

'Had to really pull it out of the bag x did uphill shuttle runs then hit fatburn and abs .. #30dayfatburn #neverregrettedaworkout #fitness #motivation'.  

This comes after the presenter showed off her enviable physique in a bright two-piece, reminiscing over a sunny holiday.

Flaunting her enviable abs and toned legs- along with an impressive tan, Davina smiled happily under minimal make-up, making the most of her natural beauty. 

Wearing a bright striped bikini, she posed against a pretty white-washed wall.

'Morning lovelies! Throwback to sunnier days... can't workout till this eve... usually what happens ... is .. I get to this evening.. still in my workout gear.. and think ... sod it ... I'll go tomorrow... but I'm saying it out loud .. I'm going to do an ab workout tonight x there... I said it... now I'll do it!!! Boom', she wrote alongside the snap. 

'What's the point?' On Wednesday viewers questioned why the presenter had a framed family photo on The Nightly Show with half of the faces blurred out

On Wednesday Davina came under fire after viewers questioned why guest host Davina McCall's on-set family photo of her husband and children had big red dots plastered over the kids' faces.

As each new host appears on the series (week one was David Walliams, week two was John Bishop) they decorate the set with items of their own memorabilia. 

Davina's framed photo sat pride of place on the hosting desk - but looked somewhat ridiculous with her three childrens' faces marked and consequently not visible.

And Twitter users soon went online to question this.

Although some understood that the 49-year-old host didn't want to plaster her offsprings' faces onto national TV, it begged the question of why she'd bothered bringing a photo at all.

Taking people into her bedroom: Davina faked an orgasm live on air after discussing how hackers could control people's sex toys

'On #thenightlyshow Davina has a fam picture on the desk, with red dots over her kids faces. I get why, but surely just not have the photo?' one person tweeted.

'What's the point of Davina's family photo on #TheNightlyShow? There's red dots all over it!' another typed. 

'Why are the faces in the picture next to Davina blocked out? #thenightlyshow,' asked somone else.

Davina's week seems to have gotten worse, despite getting off to a positive start on the much-criticised series. 

She faced some backlash for being 'wooden' when it came to her auto-cue reading abilities on Tuesday.

But Davina was certainly animated on Wednesday as she tried to entertain the dwindling audience by faking an orgasm on The Nightly Show.

The TV presenter was discussing how hackers have the ability to take over people's smart phone controlled sex toys, before a buzzer sounded and she began embarrassingly performing the raunchy deed. 

Hot under the collar: After discussing the plight of sex toys, a buzzer sounded and Davina began jumping around in her chair while trying to emulate an orgasm 

Her racy behaviour somewhat jarred with her ladylike look, with the star wearing a pink blazer and pussybow blouse. 

During the skit, Davina gurned and squirmed as she attempted to re-create an 'The Big O - while her audience were left in hysterics.

Davina's cringeworthy display comes after she was subjected to harsher critique as she helmed the American-style talk show on Tuesday, which featured guests David Baddiel and Sara Cox.

Looks can be deceiving: While the star looked ladylike in pink with a structured blazer, printed top and dangling black bow-tie - her actions were anything but refined

The issue seemed mostly to revolve around her auto-cue reading ability.

'Rubbish presenting by Davina McCall tonight... clearly reading off the auto-cue,' someone posted to Twitter, getting the ball rolling on the nightly viewer tirade.

'Davina McCall reading the auto-queue like a 6 year old read Biff, Chip & Kipper!' came a second moaning tweeter.

'Fair enough reading off an auto-cue but be a little more subtle Davina McCall,' another posted.

Another disgruntled (and sexist) commentator wrote: 'Jesus Christ Davina McCall is dreadful at presenting #TheNightlyShow - It needs a funny guy to present it. And not John Bishop.' 

Here we go again: Davina McCall started to face the same backlash her predecessor presenters John Bishop and David Walliams had faced over the previous fortnight, as she hosted The Nightly Show for a second night

A pleasant surprise: Davina quit Twitter for a week while she hosted ITV's Nightly Show fearing a deluge of mean tweets only for viewers to flood her Twitter feed with praise

'Oh my god just bring back the News At Ten!' came another tweet, followed by: 'I just can't abide by the cringe of Davina this week!'

Another said the 49-year-old TV pro 'was looking lost'.

There was still a smattering of positive feedback, with one person writing 'I actually really like The Nightly Show with Davina' and another typing: '@ThisisDavina has really turned the #TheNightlyShow arround. Until this week it's been dire but Davina is amazing.'    

Harsh: 'Fair enough reading off an auto-cue but be a little more subtle Davina McCall,' someone posted

Davina therefore decided to quit Twitter for a week when she hosted the show, expecting a deluge of mean-spirited tweets.

And although this seems to now have happened, her debut on Monday was mostly declared a success.

Having previously informed her Twitter followers that she would be off the site until Saturday because of her hosting gig - and told the haters to 'fill yer boots' - the reaction was quite the opposite with viewers flooding her Twitter feed with praise for her comedic presenting skills. 

Taking precautions: Davina informed her followers that she was leaving Twitter so they could 'fill yer boots' and criticise her on the social media site only for the opposite to happen

Fans: Tweets came flooding in to declare her hosting gig a great success 

'Best show yet': The Twitter users declared that Davina was a better host than David Walliams and John Bishop 

Falling flat: After high praise from fans the night before, Davina was subject to harsher critique as she helmed the American-style talk show on Tuesday

Auto-boo! The issue seemed mostly to revolve around her auto-cue reading ability

One wrote: 'Not watched a single episode of this new ITV Nightly Show, until now - get Davina on it every night and I'm sold!'  

The veteran presenter displayed her skills on her first episode which saw her interviewing Boy George and The Replacement actress Vicky McClure. 

Davina filled the show with references to her wild youth spent falling in and out of night clubs and added in jokes about vibrators and her married sex life, or lack thereof.

She made it clear from the beginning that the show would be a sweary one. 

'It's 10pm,' the fitness fan announced, 'so I'm going to say f*** and b*****ks as much as I like.'

On the sofa: The second of Davina's The Nightly Show episodes featured guests David Baddiel and Sara Cox

Still got the moves: Viewers were delighted by Davina's foul-mouthed appearance and jokes about her married sex life, or lack thereof, the night before

Her success came just days after former GBBO presenters Mel and Sue got 'cold feet' about hosting the beleaguered show.

An ITV insider told The Sun: 'It looked as though it was all but finalised, but they never quite signed on the dotted line.

'Unfortunately the talks collapsed when they decided they couldn’t possibly make their diaries fit with ITV and have had to turn down the offer.'

The positive reaction must be all the sweeter for Davina after her own BBC chat show, called Davina, was axed after just eight episodes a decade ago. 

A long wait: The initial positive reaction must have been all the sweeter for Davina after her own chat show, Davina, was axed by the BBC after just eight episodes a decade ago
