Strictly Come Dancing's Tess Daly fumes as Vernon Kay shares candid admission

BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kayhas disclosed how his latest lifestyle overhaul has come at a price, confessing that it has left his wife Tess Daly fuming.

With both stars set to make their television comebacks this evening, it's a behind-the-scenes drama that has sparked recent tension between the marriedpair.

Chatting to listeners during his regular BBC Radio 2 show earlier this week, Vernon confessed how he'd recently allowed his exercise regime to slip and was determined to get back into shape.

He said: "I started again yesterday, I'm very very proud of myself, because I've been speaking to Janine and I've been telling Phil 'I've got to get going again, I've got to get going again'."

Nevertheless, while he had become lazy with his fitness habits, he's now completely committed to returning to his previous ways.

He confessed that Tess is far from thrilled, as she worries that his fresh regime will bring a number of disruptions across the household. “Tess is like, 'Oh no, not again. Here we go: protein milkshakes every morning, smoothies, we'll be on the multi-vitamins.'”

Revealing another item he'll be incorporating into his updated fitness regime, he continued: "Oh skipping ropes will be arriving through the post all that kind of stuff."

Vernon and Tess initially crossed paths by accident almost 25 years ago when they were challenged with recreating Britney Spears' Hit Me Baby One More Time.

Since that moment, they have married and welcomed two daughters together, Phoebe and Amber. Meanwhile, the dynamic duo of Tess and Claudia Winkleman will be gracing our TV screens tonight as they team up to present Strictly Come Dancing. After the series’ kick-off last week, this weekend will see the first pair eliminated from the contest.

Later in the evening, Vernon will join Kelly Sutton to bring highlights from the Royal Albert Hall, celebrating the 100th birthday of the Grand Ole Opry radio show live in London.

A host of well-loved acts will be performing throughout the night, including Luke Combs, Breabach and Mumford and Sons.

Strictly Come Dancing is set to return to our screens this evening (Saturday, 4 October) on BBC One at 6.20pm.

Meanwhile, you can watch Grand Ole Opry Live: 100 Years of Country Music tonight at 8.40pm on BBC Two.
