Vernon Kay speaks out over Strictly Come Dancing fans' comments about Tess Daly

Vernon Kay has defended his wife after a Twitter backlash.

Strictly Come Dancing's Tess Daly was slated on social media for her outfit choice for the popular BBC show's final at the weekend.

TV presenter Vernon has now broken his silence and backed his spouse's choice.

Vernon spoke out, weighing in on her outfit choice, reported Birmingham Live.

Some fans poked fun at the Strictly host's outfit on Saturday night declaring it "a dressing gown".

But Vernon fought back saying: "On absolute point tonight! What an amazing show! Love the outfit @TessDaly"

His comments came on the back of social media remarks.

On Twitter, one Strictly fan Sally said: "Nice to see Tess came straight from the spa to #Strictly in her dressing gown!"

Tina said on the social media channel: "#Strictly Clod looks very nice, Tess looks like she’s just left the spa and grabbed her robe by mistake!"

Katherine said: "10yr old son took one look at Tess’s outfit and said ‘bathroom robe’. #Fashionista #HesNotWrong #Strictly"

Claudia Winkleman and Tess presented the live final this weekend as Rose Ayling Ellis won the Glitterball Trophy alongside Giovanni Pernice.

The competition was a battle between only two couples as AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington were forced to withdraw from the contest through injury. As Tess proclaimed as she opened the show: "Sadly AJ and Kai are not dancing tonight.

"AJ sustained an ankle injury early in the week and, despite treatment and rest, is unable to dance."
