Following her decision to step down as co-host of Strictly Come Dancing, Tess Daly and Vernon Kay may be about to embark on a new adventure together.
Tess Daly’s shock announcement that she is stepping down from her Strictly Come Dancing role could pay dividends for her husband, Vernon Kay. It’s thought the radio presenter is desperate to have another crack at conquering the United States.
His previous attempts fell flat, with Vernon admitting he was too “inexperienced” at the time. But his keen to give is another go and it’s thought Tess’ departure from the BBC series could see them head stateside with their family.
Vernon said, “Well, flippantly, I’d like another crack at America because I think I messed up,” in a statement made to Annie MacManus on her podcast Changes last year. For America, I hosted three network shows.

“I wouldn’t say I screwed that up,” I said. Looking back, I can see how untrained I was. I’d like to try a game show again in America because I’m more confident in myself and my work and am aware of this. That has changed a lot.
Vernon discussed his ABC and NBC responsibilities in light of his previous work as a host in the United States. He claimed they lasted a while.
“If you want a laugh, go on YouTube and watch a game show I hosted called the Million Dollar Mind Game. It’s basically me doing an impression of Roger Moore.”
Speaking of what the future might hold for Tess, a PR expert said her career can now be a “blank canvas”. Mark Borkowski told the Mirror: “Tess has the advantage of a blank canvas.
Her choice of exit time seems deliberate, just as Strictly begins to show its age. This is her Madonna reinvention phase: the same warmth and new edge if she plays it right.
She has the credibility and polish to seamlessly transition into glossy network formats or daytime franchises, according to the US rumors.
Tess and her Strictly co-host Claudia Winkleman made the decision to leave the show, according to Mark. Tess and Claudia then opened the room.
They skipped the format and left. They left with intact brand integrity, clean brands, and a sense of style. If you’re still dancing on a creaking floor, it might be time to switch up the music, the rest of us should take note.
Tess and Claudia released a joint statement to make their shock announcement earlier in the week. In the video, Claudia began with: “Hi it’s Claud and Tess. There have been some rumblings and we want you to hear this from us…”
Tess then stated, “Yes, we have news.” We’ve decided that it’s time to step aside and carry on the Strictly legacy for 21 wonderful and joyful years. “
“The very sparkly baton,” the author says. Before she turned to Tess, Claudia continued, “You’ve been here since the beginning.” Then Tess responded, “2004 with Brucey – lovely Bruce.” That was over 20 years ago, and you have retained much of it. Hasn’t it been a significant part of our lives? Since our children were sexy babies in the beginning, we have cherished every second, in my opinion.
We have, we’re so fortunate to have been a part of this amazing show, Claudia continued, “We just want to thank the Strictly team because Strictly is the person who makes it so thank you.” They are the best television team we’ve been so fortunate to have,” Tess said. They’ve also had a great time with the audience. They have been with us for the past 21 years, and they have provided us with such a show.
Then Claudia said, “We’re loving this series, and we’re going to have a brilliant…” Before Claudia continued, “Series to come and we can’t wait to get to Blackpool,” Tess said, “It’s the best series, isn’t it.”
Tess continued, “And we can’t wait to do that show dance that we have long-awaited and longed to do.” Claudia has been the program’s co-host for 11 years while Tess has been hosting it for 21 years.
