Tess Daly, the beloved former presenter of Strictly Come Dancing, celebrated her 57th birthday in style this past Sunday, showcasing her youthful glow and festive spirit on Instagram. The television personality treated her followers to an intimate look at her special day, which was filled with sweet indulgences and lavish surprises from her nearest and dearest.
A Birthday Bash Fit for a Star
In her social media post, Tess Daly posed radiantly with a beautifully decorated white chocolate cake, her casual yet chic ensemble highlighting her natural beauty. The celebrations included not only cake but also champagne, as she was lavished with gifts and well-wishes from friends and family. She captioned the moment with a playful note: 'Any excuse for cake & bubbles,' capturing the lighthearted joy of the occasion.
Glamorous Dinner and Heartfelt Messages
The birthday festivities extended to a swanky dinner at Bob Bob Ricard in Mayfair, a renowned London restaurant famous for its 'press for champagne' buttons at each table. Tess also shared a glimpse of the many cards she received, underscoring the love and support from her inner circle. Famous faces, including her Strictly co-star Claudia Winkleman and model Lisa Snowdon, flooded the comments section to wish her a happy birthday, adding a touch of celebrity sparkle to the day.
Family Moments and Nostalgic Throwbacks
This celebration comes on the heels of a heartfelt family moment shared just last week, when Tess posted an adorable childhood throwback snap of her daughter Phoebe, 21. In the sweet image, both mother and daughter, with matching blonde locks and white tops, beamed for the camera as young Phoebe hugged her. Tess expressed her nostalgia, writing: 'Phoebe found this pic for mother's day and it genuinely feels like yesterday and now she's 21 and living in NYC until summer! Time flies!'
A Recent Family Adventure in New York
Tess shares two daughters, Phoebe and Amber Isabella, 16, with her TV star husband Vernon Kay. Last month, the family enjoyed a 'whirlwind' half-term trip to New York City to visit Phoebe, who temporarily moved there in January 2026. During the visit, Tess shared an array of snaps on Instagram, posing effortlessly chic in a white jumper and blue jeans, accessorized with a Celine belt and Aviator sunglasses. Phoebe showcased trendy style in loose-fitting jeans and a fur-trimmed white jacket, while the family explored museums and strolled the streets together.
In her caption, Tess penned: 'I ❤️ NYC. Maximised every minute on a whirlwind half-term trip & fell in love with this magical city all over again.' Phoebe had earlier hinted at her temporary move with an Instagram post from a rooftop bar, captioned: 'Home for a while...' This family adventure added to the joyous backdrop of Tess's birthday, highlighting the close bonds and happy memories that define her life.
