Tess Daly has stunned her followers after sharing a throwback snap to celebrate husband Vernon Kay's birthday. Fans were quickly commenting on the post as the Strictly Come Dancing host publicly sent her other half her birthday wishes.

Former All Star Family Fortunes turned This Morning host Vernon turned 48 on Thursday (April 28). To mark the occasion Tess, from Stockport, shared a loved-up photo of the pair from the first birthday that they had shared together more than two decades ago.

The sweet picture showed Tess, 53, looking no different from how she does today in a matching purple outfit that consisted of a see-through top and matching skirt with her make-up to match. Meanwhile, Vernon had opted for a black oversized coat and was sporting longer, curly locks.
