TESS Daly and Vernon Kay have split in a shock separation after ‘much consideration and a deep sense of care”.
The former strictly star posted on her Instagram this evening.
She wrote in a post: “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.”
Tess, 57, and the Radio 2 DJ, 51, tied the knot in 2003 and share two daughters Phoebe, 21, 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.
