Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly has announced a new mystery project with her 21-year-old daughter Phoebe Kay, following her amicable separation from radio star Vernon Kay.
Cryptic Instagram Post
Teasing the venture on Instagram on Wednesday (5 August), Daly joked: "No longer bring your daughter to work day, but working alongside her." The post has sparked curiosity among fans and celebrity friends alike.
Family Background
Daly shares daughters Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 17, with Vernon Kay. The pair, who wed in 2003, announced their separation in May with a joint statement: "After much consideration, and with a deep sense of care and respect for one another, we have made the decision to separate amicably."
Despite the split, they remain committed to co-parenting, and Kay frequently supports Daly's swimwear label Naia Beach on Instagram.
Phoebe's Acting Career
Phoebe, a budding actress, is studying at the New York Film Academy and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. Her Backstage profile lists background roles in Almost Never (2022) and The Blame (2025), hinting that the mother-daughter project could be on-screen.
Celebrity Reactions
Celebrity friends responded to the announcement. Vicky Pattison commented "This is gorgeous," while entrepreneur Irene Agbontaen wrote "Yesssss. It's giving twins." Claudia Winkleman, Daly's Strictly co-presenter, replied with heart emojis.
Fans also noted Phoebe's resemblance to her father. One wrote "She looks like Vern," and another added "Gosh, she is so like her dad."
