Like his wife, Tess Daly, Vernon Kay moved from modelling to presenting.
According to the Daily Mail:
"Tess Daly recently criticised dishy husband Vernon Kay for the deeply undishy, unglamorous crimes of putting wet towels on the bed, never replacing the kitchen bin bag, and leaving a dishwasher containing sharp knives open in the vicinity of their toddler daughter."
However, Tess Daly told the Daily Mirror:
"What Vernon and I have in common are our backgrounds and our families.
"His dad is a lorry driver and he's been married to his mum for ever. They believe in hard work and being normal. His family is a reflection of mine. When I met him I knew he had the same values I had. I knew that what was important to him was important to me."
