Tess Daly and her spouse Vernon Kay have experienced a significant family shift after Tess left Strictly Come Dancing in December. Their eldest daughter, Phoebe, has not only relocated away from home but has also moved to a different continent.
Phoebe, aged 21, shared a picture from a bar in New York City on her Instagram Stories on January 8, with the iconic Empire State Building visible in the background. The caption “Home for a while…” suggests her move to the Big Apple, at least for an extended period.
While Tess deals with major Strictly-related events, the family resemblance goes beyond Phoebe – see more here.
Phoebe updated her bio to include “Heyyyy LDN/NYC.” She hasn’t disclosed the reason for her move or its duration, but it’s recent as she was in the UK for her mother’s final Strictly Come Dancing appearance.
Tess, who began hosting the BBC show in 2004, decided to bid farewell to the series this year. Alongside co-host Claudia Winkleman, they announced their departure after more than two decades on the show in a joint statement in September.
In an Instagram video, Tess and Claudia expressed their gratitude to the BBC and the show’s team as they prepare to leave. Phoebe took to Instagram after their last live show to commend her mother for her dedication to Strictly over the years.
Phoebe’s message highlighted the emotional impact of the final show and her lifelong connection to Strictly, expressing admiration and gratitude towards her mother for being an inspiration.
