Tess Daly and Vernon Kay's beautiful family holiday as they put on united front

Strictly co-host Tess Daly shared a series of stunning holiday photos after enjoying some time away with husband Vernon Kay and their children.

Tess doesn't often offer a look in at her private life, and rarely presents such a united front with Vernon.

In one snap, Tess shows her her enviably long legs whilst reclining in a hanging chair and facing away from the crystal blue sea. Her classic blond locks look perfectly tousled, pushed over to one side in a simple but chic surfer style.

In another, Tess and her family celebrate her birthday in the Maldives sat at a beach bar in swinging chairs. In a third, she's paddle-boarding in the still water as the sunlight shimmers on its surface.

Tess, who hosts Strictly alongside pal Claudia Winkleman, captioned the post: "Perfect Paradise. For #tbt I'm throwing it back to the best birthday I ever had - on the holiday of a lifetime, in the beautiful Maldives back in April with the family.

"Soaked up every super-special moment and even had a go at paddle boarding - while the baby sharks were swimming all around us - you can just make them out in the photo!

"Special memories and truly a little piece of heaven on Earth #maldives #kanahura #wishiwasthere".

Tess's fans loved the post, one saying: "Looks like paradise".

Another said: "It truly is the most amazing place in the world. The kindest people ever!!"

Another couldn't contain their jealousy: "I'm so envious!! That was where I wanted to go for my 'big' birthday this year too!!"

Tess's relationship with DJ and presenter husband Vernon hasn't been smooth-sailing, however. It 2010, the pair went through a rough patch after Vernon sent lewd messages to a glamour model and four other women.

A source close to the couple told Celebs Now that they've had their troubles, but are back on track.

The source said: "Tess stands by the statement 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'- she feels their marriage is getting stronger every day."

The source later added: "Tess won't ever forget what happened but she knows she has to forgive to move on."

It seems Vernon has learned his lesson. They have two daughters together - Phoebe Elizabeth and Amber Isabella.
