Tess Daly recently expressed her openness to the idea of becoming a younger grandmother, acknowledging the need to “get a move on” as her daughters, Phoebe and Amber, grow older. During a podcast episode hosted by Giovanna Fletcher, Tess contemplated the future when her daughters would eventually leave home, leading to a discussion about the possibility of becoming a grandmother within the next decade.
Giovanna speculated that the time to cherish with her daughters is limited before they start their own families, prompting Tess to consider the idea of being a grandmother sooner rather than later. Tess mentioned her interest in being a younger grandma, emphasizing the importance of making the most of her time before that stage of life arrives.
The conversation also touched on Tess’ plans for short breaks and European getaways, coinciding with the recent announcement that she and Claudia Winkleman would be departing from their roles as hosts of the BBC show “Strictly Come Dancing” after 21 years of service. Tess expressed her deep attachment to the show, likening it to having a second family and a significant part of her life.
In response to the news, Vernon Kay, Tess’ husband, showed support by liking Tess’ statement and sharing kind words on social media. He praised Tess and Claudia’s partnership, acknowledging their exceptional work together on the show.
