Vernon Kay has returned to work following an amicable weekend spent with his estranged wife Tess Daly, just days after the couple announced their separation after 23 years of marriage. The pair were seen together at the Pub in the Park festival, where they appeared relaxed and happy, posing for photos with fans.
Amanda Holden, a close friend of Tess, commented on the outing during Heart Radio Breakfast, describing it as 'the most amicable separation ever'. She added that the former couple are 'showing everybody how it's done' and that she loves them both. Co-host Jamie Theakston echoed the sentiment, saying 'good for them'.
An onlooker at the event told The Sun that Tess and Vernon seemed 'super-relaxed in each other’s company' and that there was 'none of this messy split business'. They chatted to fans, posed for selfies and enjoyed dancing together.
The couple announced their separation in a joint statement on Instagram, saying they had made the decision 'amicably' and that they remain 'great friends' committed to co-parenting their two daughters, Phoebe and Amber. Vernon's father Norman also confirmed the split is amicable, with 'no bad blood' and no third party involved.
