Balancing Fame and Family
Despite both being household names - Tess as the long-serving co-host of Strictly Come Dancing and Vernon through his various broadcasting roles - the couple have consistently prioritised their relationship above their careers. Their approach serves as an inspiration to many fans who follow their seemingly picture-perfect life.
Vernon's openness about their marriage comes during an exciting professional period, having successfully transitioned into one of radio's most prestigious positions. His honest reflections on making time for romance, even after twenty years together, offer a refreshing perspective on celebrity relationships.
