When it was announced that Vernon Kay and Tess Daly had decided to part ways after 24 year of marriage, many of his fans were shocked – and new figures released today show he has a very large fanbase indeed.
Vernon and wife Tess, 57, announced their split last week with a joint statement that read: “After much consideration, and with a deep sense of care and respect for one another, we have made the decision to separate amicably. “
“This has not been an easy choice, but it comes from a place of mutual understanding and a shared desire of what is best for both of us,” it added.
The statement went n to say: “We remain great friends and, most importantly, fully committed to our roles as loving and supportive parents, which will always be our priority.”
It added: “There are no other parties involved in this decision. We kindly ask for privacy during this time. We will not be making any further public comments.’
At the time a source told the Mirror: “After they released the statement, Vernon and Tess took a moment to toast each other and their futures. They only want the best for each other and their family.”
“There has been no big fallout, more a gradual growing apart and wanting different things. They have vowed to stay friends and to keep things classy when it comes to the split and any future interviews they give. They only want the best for each other.” they said.
