Tess Daly has given fans a glimpse of her life after Strictly Come Dancing, sharing a striking selfie that highlights her toned physique. The 56-year-old television presenter posted the mirror shot on Instagram this Thursday, following a family holiday in the French Alps.
A Busy Period Post-Strictly
The blonde beauty posed in a bathroom, wearing a pair of spandex she designed herself, cleverly twisting her hips to accentuate her waist. This latest post comes during a significant transitional phase for Daly, who recently stepped down from her role as co-host of the BBC's flagship dance show alongside her best friend Claudia Winkleman.
The duo presented their final episode on December 20, two months after they shocked fans by announcing their joint departure in October. In a shared statement at the time, they expressed that hosting Strictly had been "an absolute dream" and that leaving together "feels like the right time."
Emotional Tributes and a Royal Send-Off
Their exit was marked by heartfelt goodbyes during the live final. In a particularly moving moment, judge Craig Revel Horwood read a letter from Queen Camilla addressed to the presenting pair. The Queen's message praised their "warmth, compassion, and sheer happiness," calling theirs "perhaps the greatest strictly partnership of all." It concluded with a request: "do promise us one thing, keep dancing."
Amidst the professional change, Daly has also been enjoying family time. Last week, she posted snaps from the ski trip to France with her husband, Vernon Kay, 51, and their two daughters. The family holiday offered a festive break after the whirlwind of her Strictly farewell.
Looking to the Future
While Daly and Winkleman joked in their statement about possibly saying "keep dancing" to each other "in tracksuit bottoms at home while holding some pizza," their future plans remain a topic of public interest. For now, Tess Daly's latest selfie shows a woman embracing a new chapter with confidence and style, balancing cherished family moments with her life in the public eye.
