Tess Daly and Vernon Kay have been photographed together for the first time since they announced their separation last week. The former couple, who are divorcing after 23 years of marriage, were seen beaming alongside each other as they partied at the Pub in the Park festival in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.
Festival Appearance
The exes, both aged 57, enjoyed a night out with friends, including actor Will Mellor. Tess, the former Strictly Come Dancing host, was seen dancing to Craig David while Vernon performed his best dad dancing. They also posed for selfies with fans and appeared relaxed and happy together.
An onlooker told the Daily Star: "Tess and Vernon were with four of their friends and seemed friendly. They seemed super relaxed, chatty and happy together. They enjoyed the festival, walking around for ages, then went to VIP."
Wedding Ring Still On
Vernon was still wearing his wedding ring during the outing. Tess also shared photos on Instagram sporting her diamond engagement ring and platinum wedding band, captioning the post: "The glam before the go." She received an outpouring of support from fans and celebrity friends.
Amicable Split
The couple announced their decision to separate amicably last week, stating there were "no other parties involved." Their joint statement read: "After much consideration, and with a deep sense of care and respect for one another, we have made the decision to separate amicably. We remain great friends and, most importantly, fully committed to our roles as loving and supportive parents."
A source close to the couple told The Mirror that they toasted their separation with champagne and are still living together. The source said: "There has been no big fallout, more a gradual growing apart and wanting different things. They have vowed to stay friends and to keep things classy."
