Tess Daly makes rare comment about husband Vernon Kay on Strictly amid I'm A Celeb stint

Tess Daly made a rare comment about husband Vernon Kay on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night.

The telly host referenced him being on ITV's I'm A Celebrity during the live show.

Tess mentioned him "being away", as he continues his stay in the Welsh castle ahead of the final next Friday.

It came after a cheeky comment from co-host Claudia Winkleman, about her and Tess going on a honeymoon.

Claudia said: "Still to come, JJ visits the beautiful Scottish Highlands.

"I am taking you there for our honeymoon Tess."

Tess quipped back before laughing: "Vernon's away, I'm in!"

On I'm A Celebrity the same night, Vernon spoke of his wife as he discussed his happiest moment.

He recalled proposing to Tess on Christmas Day, before their wedding in 2003.

Vernon told his campmates: "I think it was when I proposed to Tess. On Christmas Day it was, it was the last present under the tree.

"While she was so consumed by the ring, I was on one knee. She was like that [pulls shocked face]. It was awesome."

Vernon added in the Telegraph: "When she opened it up, her face just lit up."

Tess has been supporting Vernon since he entered the castle earlier this month.

Last Saturday, Tess raced to watch her hubby on the show, heading to her dressing room straight after the live episode of Strictly.

Strictly Come Dancing airs the results show on Sunday on BBC One.
