Tess, who is 5ft9ins, replied: "Phoebe is an inch taller than me and she's gorgeous. I said to her, 'You know, you could go and meet my old modelling agents.'

"She said, 'Mum I don't want to do that, I want to be a businesswoman or an actress.'"

Tess wouldn't stop her daughters from pursuing a career in modelling

Earlier this week, Tess' daughters were clearly very excited to be reunited with their dad Vernon Kay, who has spent the past few weeks at I'm A Celebrity's Gwrych Castle in Wales.

The Family Fortunes star's children ensured he had plenty of food to enjoy by baking an impressive display of biscuits that spelled out the name of the ITV show – and we bet they went down a treat after his diet of rice and beans!

Phoebe and Amber baked I'm a Celebrity themed cookies for their dad

Tess shared a photo of Phoebe and Amber's homemade biscuits on her Instagram Stories, writing: "The girls made cookies for their dad's return."

Each treat was shaped into a star with yellow icing on top with a black letter, while several mini jelly snakes were curled around the outside – a nod to his trials inside the Castle.
