The Strictly star sported a classic Fair Isle knit jumper in a sweet selfie to mark her 60th birthday which occurred in December. She looked snug in the cosy item, which featured long sleeves, a rounded neckline, a warm colour palette and a traditional print that is synonymous with the Scottish sweatshirt style.

Kaye juxtaposed the selfie with a throwback image of her mother as a child, also wearing a thick Fair Isle knit. Kaye's mother was pictured in a collared cardigan that featured a horizontally designed Fair Isle print and long sleeves.

The TV star and the tennis coach met almost 30 years ago, but they were in no hurry to "settle down" and get engaged or start a family. Speaking of the start of her relationship with her "unconventional" partner, Kaye explained to The Mirror: "When we first met Ian was in his late 20s working as a tennis coach, spending half his life in Italy and half in Scotland, and he was not a man going to settle down."
