Tess Daly and Vernon Kay made their first public appearance together after announcing they were splitting up.
Last Friday (May 8), the pair revealed they were splitting up after 23 years of marriage. In a joint statement, they said the decision was ‘amicable’. Since tying the knot, they started a family and share two daughters — Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 16.
On Wednesday (May 13), Vernon made his first television appearance by hosting BBC’s The One Show alongside Alex Scott. Meanwhile, on Friday (May 15), Tess was seen for the first time and teased a new television role.
Last year, she announced her departure from hosting Strictly. However, her replacement has yet to be confirmed.

In photos obtained by The Sun, Tess and Vernon could be seen having a fun evening out this weekend at Pub in the Park.
While mingling with friends and taking selfies with fans, they were all smiles and drama-free.
“Tess and Vernon seemed super relaxed in each other’s company despite the news of their split,” an onlooker told the newspaper.
“It is clear to see that they are still very much happy around one another and there’s been none of this messy split business.
“They chatted to fans and other guests at the event and had a well-earned boogie to Craig David amongst the festival crowds.”
A different onlooker also noticed that Vernon appeared to be wearing his wedding ring at the event, two days after Tess was still seen wearing hers on Instagram.
