Tess Daly made a triumphant return to our screens on Saturday night for another instalment of Strictly Come Dancing.
And the evening was made all the more special thanks to the arrival of an extra special guest - her teenage daughter, Phoebe.

A source told HELLO!: "Tess looked very proud as her daughter joined the crowd this weekend. Ahead of the show, she welcomed Phoebe and her companion Josh."

Earlier in the week, Tess penned a touching message on social media to mark her daughter's big day.
Paying tribute to her eldest, Tess, 54, uploaded a gorgeous image of the mother-daughter duo having a blast at a music festival.
She also shared a sneak peek inside Phoebe's celebrations complete with hot pink metallic balloons and a vibrant birthday banner. Tess rounded off the string of snapshots with a precious image of Phoebe beaming alongside her younger sister Amber.
In the image, the youngster looked adorable as she flashed a huge smile and wrapped her arms around her sibling. So cute!

Vernon also paid tribute to his daughter by sharing a touching throwback image from Phoebe's childhood. "Happy 19th Phoebe!!! Enjoy… So proud of everything you've achieved so far in life. Can't wait for the next big step…(and of course another dance at the rave!" he wrote in his caption, to which Tess simply added: "My loves."
Aside from Phoebe, happy couple Tess and Vernon are also doting parents to Amber, 14.
Whilst the couple tend to keep their family life away from the spotlight, they have very occasionally opened up about their parenthood journey.
During a 2019 interview with You magazine, Tess revealed that she wants to keep her children grounded. "You can't make their life too easy because you remove their will to succeed," the TV star shared.
"I'd hate to have a spoilt brat – I'd think I hadn't done my job properly. I want them to be appreciative. Right now, we're setting up a pocket money system with my eldest. We're doing rewards and we've explained that we can't buy her everything."
