Tess Daly shared pic posing with lookalike daughter Phoebe, 21, day before announcing shock split with Vernon
TESS Daly shared a picture with her lookalike daughter Phoebe just one day before announcing her shock split from husband Vernon Kay.
Phoebe Kay, 21, is the spit of her mother in the snaps, which show the pair posing together on a sunny bridge.
Posted the day before Tess, 57, and Vernon, 51, sensationally announced their split, the mother and daughter duo were all smiles in the photo.
The former Strictly Come Dancing presenter captioned the happy photo: “Got my Phoebe back for a few days and making the most of every moment.”
Phoebe has followed in her mother’s footsteps and moved to New York to pursue a career in modelling.
In March, the pair’s eldest daughter revealed on TikTok she had made the big move across the pond.
In the clip, Phoebe can be seen dancing with the New York skyline and the Empire State building in the background.
The nepo baby captioned it: “NYC has my hearttt! Lucky to call it home for a while.”
Phoebe hasn’t disclosed the reason for her move to the Big Apple but it appears that it’s only a temporary stay.
Interestingly, her mum Tess also lived in New York for five years while working as a fashion model in the 90s.
The former Strictly Come Dancing host and the Radio 2 DJ visited their daughter last month as they gave a peek into their whirlwind trip.
Tess took to Instagram to share various snaps of their trip, including standing in front of the New York skyline, eating pancakes and visiting art galleries.
She captioned it: “I love NYC. Maximised every minute on a whirlwind half term trip and fell in love with this magical city all over again.”
Tess and Vernon tied the knot in 2003 and share two daughters – Phoebe and Amber, 16.
The pair met while working as up-and-coming TV presenters for rival channels in 2001, crossing paths at a BBC Christmas party.
But the pair revealed on Instagram today that they had separated after two decades of marriage.
She wrote: “After much consideration, and with a deep sense of care and respect for one another, we have made the decision to separate amicably.
“This has not been an easy choice, but it comes from a place of mutual understanding and a shared desire for what is best for both of us.
“We remain great friends and most importantly, fully committed to our roles as loving and supportive parents, which will always be our priority.
There are no other parties involved in this decision.
“We kindly ask for privacy during this time as we navigate this transition together.
“We will not be making any further public comments.”
