STORY: Tess Daly and Vernon Kay look loved-up during Wimbledon appearance
Dressed in a striking black number with a thigh-high slit, the Strictly Come Dancing presenter exuded heaps of glamour. She stood tall in a chic pair of metallic heels, while opting for minimal traces of make-up. Her partner looked handsome in a silky blue suit, which was teamed with a crisp white shirt and a blue dotted tie. Tess, 48, and Vernon, 43, who share daughters Phoebe, 12, and Amber, seven, were no doubt enjoying a night off parental duties. They happily stopped and posed for pictures at the exclusive party, which was also attended by Lisa Snowdon and Claudia Winkleman.

STORY: Vernon Kay breaks silence amid texting scandal
The TV stars appeared to put on a united front months after it was reported that Vernon allegedly had been messaging a glamour model which nearly cost him his marriage. Shortly after the allegations last year, Vernon released an official statement in which he insisted his wife was well-aware of his messages to model Rhian Sugden. He said: "I was contacted by Rhian out of the blue back in December regarding the story 2010, claiming she had new information she wanted to pass on. I recognise how it may look when the messages are pulled out of context but there was never any inappropriate intent to our communication. I was merely trying to find out answers to questions I've had since 2010."
