Vernon Kay has shared how his wife Tess Daly really felt about the emotional tribute paid to her and Claudia Winkleman on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing. The 56-year-old presenter and her co-host were surprised with a video montage and a golden Glitterball Trophy during the live show.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2 on Monday, Scott Mills described the moment as "emotional", prompting Vernon to recall the "bonkers" experience of watching it at home with Tess and their daughters. He said they rewound the show to watch the tribute together, and noted that Phoebe saw a mention of Tess being pregnant during the first series.
Vernon added that the final show will be emotional after 21 years. During the tribute, judge Craig Revel Horwood told Tess and Claudia: "We just want to tell you both how much we're going to miss you. How much we totally and utterly love you to bits."
Tess and Claudia, who announced their departure last month, both became tearful. Claudia said: "I can't believe it, we're so lucky. It's been an honour." Tess added: "You guys are like family to us."
