“Madelyn is amazing.. The nation is going to love her,” someone wrote.

“Good hire but will ESPN actually give her real spotlight?” someone else wondered.

Madelyn Burke built a reputation in media covering the Giants. She’s hosted Giants Postgame Live on MSG Network and worked as a reporter for WFAN. She’s also hosted CBS Sports HQ.

The broadcaster announced she would be leaving the Giants last week, prompting some shock.

The team sent her flowers and called her personally, showing its appreciation for the work she’s done over the last decade.

This comes as a full-circle moment for Burke, who was a production assistant at ESPN for Super Bowls 42 and 43. She was also behind the scenes for ‘Monday Night Football’ and NBA Finals coverage.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
