Inside Strictly host Tess Daly and husband Vernon Kay’s sprawling six-bedroom mansion with home gym, swimming pool and luscious grounds for their two Shetland ponies
Away from their high-profile jobs as presenters of Strictly Come Dancing and Radio 2, Tess Daly and Vernon Kay live in rural Buckinghamshire.
Tess, 55, and Vernon, 50, have settled into a swanky six-bedroom mansion with daughters Phoebe, 20, and Amber, 15, and often share glimpses inside on Instagram.
Recently, Vernon and Phoebe filmed their first ever TV commercial together in the beautiful property, with the help of one of the family’s many pets, fluffy pup Mickey.
The idyllic home features a large conservatory kitchen and luxurious marble bathroom, as well as a large swimming pool in the extensive grounds – large enough to accommodate Tess’s two Shetland ponies, Honey and Willow.
The house has a sleek white-gray kitchen with a large cooking island and high-quality steel appliances.
The kitchen doubles as a space to relax and is adjacent to a large conservatory – complete with soft pastel sofas, as well as numerous large windows and even a skylight, to enhance the airy feeling.

The couple also stays in shape at their own home gym with kettlebells, strength equipment and framed football jerseys decorating the walls.
The Strictly presenter is known for her glamorous sense of style and often films her make-up looks for the show from her bathroom, which maintains the opulent look of the home with marble tops, large mirrors over a double sink and even a luxurious walk-in shower .
The family also seem to be big fans of the outdoors and often spend time in the mansion’s extensive and leafy gardens.
The outdoor area features a chic wicker table and chairs, perfect for hosting barbecues in the summer months, while hot days are often spent in the pool, complete with a variety of animal-themed floats.
Tess spoke to earlier Hello! about their family life at home, and admitted that she enjoys the time away from work because she can relax with her children.
‘It’s nice to have some time for normal things, like going to school, baking with the children after school, helping them with their homework. “I live for that kind of thing, it’s my most important role as a mother,” she said.
However, she added that her daughters also have a very good relationship with their father Vernon, continuing: “Vernon is also a brilliant father. He attends the netball matches and cheers, and we never miss a concert. I am aware that you will not get this precious time back.’
While TV presenter Vernon was on hand to support his daughter in their new addition, he previously revealed that he and Tess insist his children don’t live off their fame and should carve out ‘their own careers’.

It’s an important factor for the famous duo, who both rose to fame after being scouted as models and then turning to television.
Speaking to MailOnline in 2022, Vernon said he and his wife believe it is important for their offspring to “find themselves” and not have their “life handed to them on a plate”, crediting the couple’s northern backgrounds with shaping their parenting beliefs .
Vernon said, “We let them be independent when it comes to them and their future because it’s important that you allow them to find themselves, which is character building and personality development.
Tess feels the same way as her husband, telling MailOnline in 2021 how she kept her children ‘grounded’ against the trappings of fame and raised them with ‘morals, respect and work ethic’.
The Strictly presenter revealed that it wasn’t until the age of seven that Phoebe realized her mother worked in TV, as she and Vernon did their best to shield their family from the spotlight.
Tess admitted that ‘it was never about us at home’ when she spoke about the importance of keeping her career and motherhood separate.
She explained, “They are so grounded that they know the value of everything. It’s everything to us.
‘They have good morals and respect others. It’s everything. They build their self-esteem through you. It is so important for us to keep them grounded.

While TV presenter Vernon was on hand to support his daughter in their new addition, he previously revealed that he and Tess insist his children don’t live off their fame and should ‘build their own careers’.
‘It was never about us at home – it’s about them and their lives and us as a family. Phoebe didn’t even know I worked on TV until she was about seven!
She had no idea until she saw me one day and said, “There’s my mom!” She just thought I went to work on Saturdays because it’s work for them.
‘Of course they really enjoy it and loved seeing their dad on I’m A Celeb, they love Strictly – but it’s part of what we do and it doesn’t define who we are to them. We’re just mom and dad.
“It’s very important to me that I don’t take away from my children’s work ethic and their opportunity to find their own role in life by overshadowing them with yours.
‘It is important that they learn to find their own way. It’s not about us and ego has no place. They are good, hardworking girls and we are very proud of them. They’re growing up!’
