'I NEVER STOP'

Presenter Tess Daly is no stranger to hard work – but, she tells us, it’s a valuable lesson for her children, as well as the key to success

Stylish star Tess Daly is the perfect model for her own luxury swimwear brand. And when it comes to getting glam, despite her experience as a model, there are only two people she turns to.

“Thanks to all the latest TikTok trends, my daughters are much more clued-up than me when it comes to the latest make-up,” laughs the mum of two, who has daughters Phoebe and Amber with her husband, BBC Radio 2 DJ Vernon Kay.

“They’re like: ‘Mum, why are you not contouring?’ So funny. They know so much; I get tips off my girls at this point. This generation are so much more informed than we ever were.”

It’s clear that the presenter dotes on her daughters. For a long time, she and Vernon stuck to their decision to keep their children out of the public eye while they were growing up – “until they could decide for themselves”, Tess has said.
