Tess Daly has opened up about 'soulmate' Vernon Kay and how I'm A Celeb made her realise she needed him 'around the house'.
The Strictly Come Dancing host was kept away from her hubby for more than a month as he appeared in the ITV reality show.
The Bolton TV star made it to the final and ended in third place.
But Tess and the couple's two daughters were missing him at home - as well as his skills around the house.
"The printer, the dishwasher, the dryer (all broke) – basically everything you need when solo parenting," the 51-year-old told Women's Health magazine.
"I was like, 'Okay, Vern, I really do need you around the house'… we're soulmates, me and Vernon.
"It's been a ride. And I love him more than ever."
Tess, who features as the cover star on the April edition of Women's Health, also told the publication she does not feel "any different" now in her fifties compared to when she was in her thirties.
"Confidence comes from cutting yourself some slack. I’m in my fifties now," Tess said.
"That's still a shock when I say it out loud, because I don’t feel any different to when I was in my thirties.
"But I don’t fixate on age as a limitation, because it's never held me back… confidence, to me, is just pushing yourself a little bit further than you think you can go, and you’ll always surprise yourself."
