Vernon Kay has been seen for the first time since announcing his split from wife Tess Daly, as he arrived at his radio show on Monday. The couple announced their shock separation on Friday, admitting they had agonised over the decision but were determined to remain supportive parents to their daughters, Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 16.
Flashing a small smile, the star broke cover following the shocking news of the end of their 23-year-long marriage. Over the weekend, it has been claimed that Vernon and Tess posted the joint statement on Instagram while raising a champagne toast in their joint mansion.
The Mirror reported that the pair are 'keeping it classy' with regard to their split – hence the posh fizz marking the finish of their time together. Despite going their separate ways romantically, the couple are still living in the same property together and eager to mark the next steps in their lives.
A source close to the pair told the publication: 'After they released the statement, Vernon and Tess took a moment to toast each other and their futures.'
