Have the married couple got their sights set on ITV?

Aside from the staged red-carpet photos, rarely in their 23 years of marriage have we caught a glimpse of Vernon Kay and Tess Daly’s lives away from the hectic showbiz merry-go-round, until now. Presenter Tess recently shared some candid shots of a family holiday in France with her husband Vernon, 48, and their two daughters, Phoebe, 17, and Amber, 12.

In the photographs Vernon, also a television presenter who recently covered for Phillip Schofield on This Morning, looked every inch the doting family man with his grown-up mullet hairdo and sophisticated summer style.

There is not even a hint of the wild streak that has landed him in some marital hot water on more than one occasion over the years. Indeed, France was the destination where the couple renewed their vows after 10 years of marriage back in 2013. A fact that Vernon revealed when he appeared on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2020.

So, what could be the reason for the big push behind his family-friendly image?
