Tess Daly and Vernon Kay found a reason to celebrate shortly after their eldest daughter, Phoebe, 19, headed off to university, prompting them to enjoy a romantic celebration together.
Tess shared a sweet photo from inside a restaurant with the couple sat together at a wooden table and both smiling as Vernon marked his 100th show presenting on BBC Radio 2 after he took over from Ken Bruce earlier in the year. The Strictly Come Dancing presenter looked as ravishing as ever in a slinky off-the-shoulder dress, while Vernon opted for a casual short-sleeved black shirt.
Tess had been enjoying a cocktail before the photo with an empty glass sitting near her, and a few glasses of water were also spread out in front of the couple, with a wide range of bottled beverages in the background of the photo.
In a short caption, Tess shared: "Congrats on 100 shows to @vernonkay @bbcradio2," alongside an applauding emoji, and her followers were quick to praise Vernon.

I just love him," while a second added: "I nearly cried when you all did your congratulations on the radio especially his Dads. Definitely filled Ken’s shoes and more!"
A third posted: "A breath of fresh air in a morning needs to be on air longer," while a fourth commented: "You are a complete legend @vernonkay. We love you and look forward to brightening our mornings week day. Keep doing what you're doing," and a fifth shared how much they loved Tess' dress, as they enthused: "Beautiful dress Tess. I wore this to my friends 50th at the weekend and felt fabulous."

For the occasion, Tess took to Instagram to upload a series of throwback images from their wedding day and a more recent one featuring a candle shaped like the number 20.
"Cannot believe it's 20 years ago today! [heart emojis] always @vernonkay," she gushed in the caption. Meanwhile, Vernon added his own post and shared a snap from their special day alongside the caption: "20yrs!! [heart emojis]."
