Tess Daly has shared an emotional message on social media alongside rare pictures of her daughter as she and Vernon Kay reached a parenting milestone. The Strictly Come Dancing host and BBC Radio 2 presenter share two daughters, 18-year-old Phoebe and 14-year-old Amber.
And this week, the couple officially watched one of them finish school for good after Phoebe recently completed her A-levels before having her last proper day in school. Tess marked the occasion by posting a series of pictures, including a cute throwback, to Instagram.
Sharing a picture of Phoebe in her younger school days during an egg and spoon race at a sports day, Tess wrote: "Well that’s a wrap and the school days are done. No more sports days & school shoes!" The 54-year-old also included an image of Phoebe's shiny school shoes, and an adorable family picture of herself, Phoebe and Bolton-born hubby Vernon.
