Tess Daly showcased her incredible figure in a series of swimwear pictures for a new modelling shoot and continues to wear her wedding ring following her split from Vernon Kay.
Tess Daly Still Wears Wedding Ring During Photoshoot
Tess Daly was clearly in her element as she posed for promotional shots for her luxury swimwear collection with Naia Beach. In the pictures, the former Strictly Come Dancing host can still be seen wearing her wedding ring, despite ending her marriage to Vernon Kay last month.
The collection of images was shared to 57-year-old Tess's personal Instagram account where they caught the eye of her estranged husband, 52, who 'liked' the montage of bikini pictures.
Tess and Vernon have remained amicable throughout their split and were seen partying together at the food and music festival Pub In The Park, where they enjoyed performances from artists including Craig David.
Continued Friendship After Separation
The former couple was joined by mutual friends including Two Pints of Lager star, Will Mellor. At the Buckinghamshire event, Vernon was also spotted wearing his ring.
In a joint statement posted to Instagram, the couple, who had been married for 22 years, said: "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 more 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 and Vernon."
The couple tied the knot in 2003 and share two daughters, Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 16.
Social Media Admiration
Her recent pictures taken in Greece were also admired by her eldest daughter, who wrote: "OK STUNNNNINGGG," to which Tess replied with a string of red heart emojis.
Tasha Ghouri, who won the ballroom TV show back in 2024, also commented "gorgeous." This was closely followed by a like from her estranged husband Vernon, who then chose not to comment.
Past Challenges in Marriage
Over the years, the couple had always maintained a united front even when their relationship was rocked in 2010 after he was caught in a sexting scandal. The TV personality was exposed for sending flirty messages to former glamour model Rhian Sugden.
At the time, in an interview following the scandal, Rhian emotionally claimed that "he had got away with it," as Tess took him back.
Speaking on his Radio 1 show soon after the scandal broke, he told his listeners that he had been "stupid and foolish." He added: "Tess is extremely upset about this and we're working through it."
