Vernon told the MailOnline: "It's weird that Phoebe will soon be leaving home because it only feels like two minutes they were both in nappies.
"It's such a cliché and you don't take it on board at the time but both our parents told us to enjoy every minute and take lots of photographs because tomorrow they'll be at university and leaving home."
The presenter also revealed that both he and Tess didn't want any of their daughters to have their life "on a plate" and encouraged them both to be independent.
He explained: "We let them be independent when it comes to them and their futures because it's important that you allow them to find themselves, which is character building and personality development."
