Vernon with his eldest daughter Phoebe

Vernon shares his 18-year-old daughter Phoebe with his wife, Tess. The lovebirds tied the knot in 2003 at St Mary's Church in Horwich, Vernon's hometown, before hosting their reception at nearby Rivington Hall Barn. Aside from Phoebe, the couple are also doting parents to Amber, 13.

In a recent Instagram Q&A session, the Strictly Come Dancing presenter shared a sweet insight into their relationship, saying: "We still sit down for dinner and have so much to talk about, we still have a real laugh.

"I see when his name comes up on his phone, I'm like 'yay'. We have a good laugh, he's always messing about, dancing and singing in the kitchen. Never a dull moment."

The couple share two daughters together

Vernon's rare outing with his daughter comes after the presenter landed himself a new radio gig on Radio 2, which sees him replacing Ken Bruce.

And whilst the new - albeit controversial - role promises to be an exciting challenge, Vernon recently said to Zoe Ball: "My dad is a lorry driver and I said this when I joined Radio 2 and started standing in for Steve Wright, so we've always had Radio 2 on in the background.

"It is part of us, it is in our DNA - Ken Bruce is mid-mornings. You don't think of any other DJ when you think of that slot. Whatever channel you choose to listen to, whoever is on mid-morning, it's the Ken Bruce slot."
