Tess Daly shares cosy loved-up selfie with husband Vernon Kay

Tess Daly wowed fans with her age-defying looks as she shared a cosy loved-up selfie with husband Vernon Kay.

The Strictly host, 52, took to Instagram to post the relaxed snap, in which Tess and Vernon are beaming at the camera.

“Sunday walks before a roast! how’s everyone spending your Sunday?” she asked her 767,000 followers.

Her famous friends, including Strictly co-host Claudia Winkleman, Lisa Snowden and Katie Piper, left love heart emojis in the comments on the post, and her followers were quick to share their plans for the weekend with the presenter.

“Sitting by the ocean in Greece, sipping an afternoon pina colada!” one wrote, while another added: “Did 16,000 steps this morning, just put on The Talented Mr Ripley, while dinner is cooking… relaxing Sunday.”

Tess and Vernon have been married since September 2003, and are gearing up to celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary.

The beloved TV couple are also parents to two daughters - Phoebe, 16, and Amber, 12 - and Tess sweetly states in her Instagram bio that she’s mum to “teen and tween”.

Tess was a supportive wife when Vernon took part in I’m A Celebrity... last year, and despite the UK being put into another strict lockdown just weeks after he emerged from the Welsh castle in third place, the couple remained a “tight-knit unit”.

"It's a levelling experience. We are in it together. I mean, as a family, we've always been a tight-knit unit,” she said of spending time with her family.

“I'm very much about focusing on the positive, which at this time is, of course, extremely challenging."

One of the keys to success in their decades-long loving relationship is their love for food, and Tess said Family Fortunes host Vernon is a dab hand in the kitchen.

"Vernon cooks a couple of times a week. He'll bring out his spag bol and a veggie version for me, or he'll do fish and get the frying pan out and do something quite flamboyant with it, like sea bass and chive mash,” she shared.

And the presenter also likes to show off her culinary skills, and can result up a few dishes for her two daughters.

"The kids love my fajitas. Lots of Mexican stuff, lots of Asian-style cooking, stir-fries, or I'll do a chicken casserole, loads of green veggies. My kids like roast broccoli and roast carrots,” Tess explained.

She recently revealed that her close relationship with her children also extends to their wardrobes, as she had stolen one of Phoebe’s dresses to wear on a date night with Vernon.

Posing on an outdoor sofa, surrounded by candles and lanterns, Tess can be seen wearing a pink patterned maxi dress, prompting her followers to ask where it was from.

But her answer shocked a few of her fans, as she cheekily confessed: “I stole it from my daughter!"
