Vernon and Tess Daly Look Unrecognizable in Throwback Photo

BBG News

On Monday, Tess Daly shared a heartwarming vintage picture on Instagram for Vernon Kay’s 51st birthday, and it was hard to recognize them both due to the transformation over time.

In the photo from their vacation in 2003, the newlyweds appeared youthful and affectionate, with Vernon showing off a mischievous smile while sunbathing without a shirt on a boat.

Tess wore a beige cap and put her hand on her beau’s chest and also beamed an adoring smile.

In her primary social media update, the host of Strictly Come Dancing, who is currently 56 years old, shared a fresh image that continues to show them as a deeply affectionate pair, both wearing identical smiles.

Vernon donned a mid blue denim jacket over a navy T-shirt, letting his long dark brown locks loose.

Meanwhile, Tess coordinated perfectly with her husband, both wearing striking admiral-blue denim jumpsuits. She enhanced her beauty subtly using a soft makeup collection.

Apart from that, she additionally shared on her Instagram Stories numerous cherished moments spanning their years together, such as a snapshot of them enjoying the sunshine with Vernon holding a beverage.

The radio host was dressed in a cream, short-sleeved knit sweater layered over a black tee, paired with black pants. Meanwhile, Tess opted for a white and gold ruffled minidress, complete with oversized square sunglasses.

Alternatively, Vernon cut quite the figure in a smart black suit, white shirt, and silver-accented tie, whereas his wife turned heads in an elegant black mini dress adorned with silver trimmings.

Additionally, he appeared in another photo wearing a white and gray polo under a camel-colored bomber jacket, while Tess donned a shimmering purple sequin gown.

In a similar vein, their oldest child, Phoebe (age 20), also utilized social media platforms to share a collection of images in honor of Vernon on this memorable occasion.

At a bustling outdoor event under the sun, one snapshot captured her father embracing her with one arm on her shoulder, while he held a beverage in his other hand.

As a devoted follower, I adorn myself with a crisp, pleated white shirt featuring an intricate floral design, complemented by oversized aviator eyewear.

Simultaneously, his daughter donned a cream top with strategically cut-out sections, adorned with silver fastenings, paired with a frilly white skirt.

Additionally, she shared a photo capturing them too – a beaming Vernon and Kay, cradling her as an infant and posing for a snapshot.

Phoebe titled her post: “Happy Birthday Dad! Love you immensely. I feel incredibly fortunate to consider you not just an outstanding father, but also my very best friend! (It’s hard to believe that these pictures are almost twenty years apart)

In her Instagram Stories, she posted a photo taken during a shoot featuring Vernon dressed in a smart black tuxedo with a white dinner jacket, and his daughter adorably wearing a shimmering gold mini dress embellished with sequins.

Vernon and Tess also share Amber, 15, from their 22-year marriage.

The cute snaps come after Phoebe joined her dad as the pair celebrated the EE Rising Star nominees.

At the Vanity Fair EE Rising Star bash held at The Four Seasons Hotel’s Pavilion restaurant in London last February, I was starstruck to find myself rubbing shoulders with the broadcaster and his senior family member – two celebrities who truly shine!

At the event, Vernon exuded elegance, donning a stylish double-breasted suit paired with a navy turtleneck sweater beneath.

Simultaneously, Phoebe exuded elegance in a stylish, fitted black camisole top with a plunge neckline, accompanied by flared pants of the same color.

She matched the coord set with shiny silver stilettos and a metallic handbag, along with a set of dazzling diamond jewelry.

Lately, Phoebe is often seen attending high-profile gatherings alongside her well-known parents, as she’s been actively building her reputation within the entertainment field.

In a Christmas commercial for EE, she bore a striking resemblance to her renowned mother, looking just like her when they both appeared together with her father in December.

In the amusing advertisement, the Radio 2 DJ was assigned the task of organizing holiday preparations, yet found himself needing to recruit his miniature pup, Mickey, in locating the Christmas decorations.

Additionally, Phoebe pitched in when it seemed like her unfortunate father had forgotten to arrange for a turkey for the celebrations.

After reaching the age of 18, Phoebe made her first appearance in the public spotlight, walking the red carpet together with her father at the premiere of John Wick Chapter 4 in March.

During the show, TV host Vernon was there to back up his daughter, as he had earlier disclosed that both he and Tess strive to ensure their kids build their own careers rather than rely on their fame.

For the well-known pair, who gained recognition following their discovery as models and subsequent transition to television, this element plays a crucial role.

In 2022, Vernon communicated with TopMob that he and his spouse feel strongly about their children discovering their own paths in life rather than having everything handed to them. They attribute this parental philosophy to their upbringings in the north, which have significantly influenced their beliefs as parents.

As a lifestyle expert, I firmly believe in granting young individuals the freedom to shape their own paths. It’s crucial to empower them to discover who they are, as this process fosters self-awareness and nurtures their unique personalities.

Tess shares the same viewpoint as her spouse, sharing with TopMob in 2021 that she managed to keep her kids away from the pitfalls of celebrity by instilling values such as morality, respect, and strong work ethics.

It wasn’t until she was seven that Phoebe became aware of her mother’s job in television, because her parents, Phoebe and Vernon, were diligent in maintaining privacy around their family life to avoid the public eye. (Strictly host shared this information.)

She explained: ‘She had no idea until she saw me once and said “there’s my mum!” 

‘She just thought I went to work on a Saturday because to them it is work.’
