Tess Daly, the host of Strictly Come Dancing, has revealed details of her family life and how she and husband Vernon Kay have been trying to ensure that their daughters are raised in a certain manner.
Tess Daly, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, has revealed how she and husband Vernon Kay are trying to instill values in their daughters.
Recently returning to our screens alongside co-host Claudia Winkleman for another series of Strictly, Tess took time out from the glitz and glamour to chat with Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy mum Happy Baby podcast.
Tess stated during the heart-to-heart that finding your own way is one of the most important lessons we can teach them as parents. Find the source of happiness. Discover what makes you unique.
She continued, citing the value of perseverance and humility, and stated, “I wouldn’t dream of spoiling my children.” I don’t want brats who have been spoilt. I want kind, modest girls who are grateful and kind. My worst nightmare would be having entitled children, you know what I mean. It’s bad for you, not good for them, and bad for you.
Tess and Vernon’s love story began over two decades ago when they were challenged to choreograph their own dance routine to Britney Spears’ …Baby One More Time at a BBC Christmas party.
As the couple exchanged vows and soon welcomed Phoebe, their first child, together, in the years that followed, their relationship blossomed. Amber, one of their younger children, arrived in 2009.
Tess has been a constant presence on television for decades, aside from raising her two daughters with Vernon.
Although she initially started her career as a model, she is most recognised for her stint on Strictly Come Dancing, having co-hosted the BBC show since its inception in 2004 while she was expecting her first daughter.
She co-hosted the dance show for Sir Bruce Forsyth at the beginning, but after Sir Bruce made a decision to leave the program, Claudia Winkleman joined her.
She recently returned to the show as Strictly celebrates its 23rd season since it first aired in 2004.
Last weekend’s show saw Scottish presenter Ross King eliminated from the competition alongside professional dancer Jowita Przytal. Their time in the competition came to an end after they finished second best in the dance-off, as they went up against Balvinder Sopal and her partner Julian Caillon.
