I'm A Celebrity finalist Vernon Kay finally reunites with wife Tess Daly

Vernon Kay has finally reunited with his wife Tess Daly, two days after he came third on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

Tess, 51, took to Instagram on Sunday evening to share a picture of them back together at last after five weeks apart.

The TV presenter, 46, had no contact with Tess or their daughters Phoebe, 16, and Amber, 11, while he was on the show, but he also didn't see them for weeks beforehand as he had to self-isolate before going into the castle.

In the snap, the couple look loved up as they cuddle together on the sofa during their reunion.

Tess captioned the photo: "After almost 5 weeks away (2 and a half in isolation before going into the @imacelebrity Castle) it's so good to have him home.

"Now it's time to get that Christmas tree up...!"

"That is a conversation I will never forget because it reassured me of the reasons I went in – to make the girls proud.

"It reassured me I'd done that. And Tess was just elated.

"I saw what she'd done on social media, she's worked her socks off. She has been amazing."
