BBC Radio 2 host Vernon Kay has shared a new snapshot featuring his rarely-seen daughter, Phoebe.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the TV star, 50, uploaded a beaming throwback snap from their recent visit to Wimbledon. Posing for a selfie on Centre Court, the father-daughter duo appeared in high spirits as they geared up for a slice of tennis action.

Phoebe, 19, meanwhile, looked elegant wearing a floaty white dress complete with spaghetti straps. She wore her golden tresses in voluminous waves and rounded off her SW19 look with a pair of sleek shades.

Vernon's fans and friends couldn't help but draw parallels between Phoebe and her famous mother Tess Daly who is best known for presenting hit BBC dance show, Strictly Come Dancing.
"Beautiful photo of you both. She is so like Tess," wrote one, while a second noted: "I thought it was Tess at first! The double of her Mum!" and a third commented: "She so looks like her Mum!"

The couple tend to keep their family life out of the spotlight and have previously spoken about their desire to keep their daughters firmly grounded.
During a chat with MailOnline, Vernon explained: "We let them be independent when it comes to their futures because it's important that you allow them to find themselves, which is character building and personality development.
"Sometimes I think that the old silver spoon and life on a plate in front of them… I think that's quite contradictory to how you want them to be. Tess and I grew up in hearty, wholesome Northern families and that's a huge trait that helped us in our personal development and I think that's really important."

"It's always different, there's always something that crops up, there's always something that needs to be said and there's a lot of fun to be had as well."

And for mum, Tess, the experience was particularly emotional. "I remember silently sobbing all the way back down the motorway, because she’s my baby, my first-born," she told us. "I’m her best friend, really. It broke my heart."
