Inside Tess Daly’s incredible home with Vernon Kay – from quirky pets to one thing causing unbelievable stress

Tess Daly lives a luxurious life in the Buckinghamshire countryside with her husband of nearly 21 years, fellow TV star Vernon Kay, and their two daughters, Phoebe, 20, and Amber, 15.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2003, have both had plenty of high-profile TV roles, contributing to their impressive net worth. Tess has hosted everything from Strictly Come Dancing to Children in Need, while Vernon presents a morning show on BBC Radio 2, has been the face of the much-loved game show Family Fortunes and even made it to third place on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2020.

But away from the spotlight, Tess and Vernon own a sprawling six-bedroom country home in the Beaconsfield area of Buckinghamshire, which has been named one of the best places to live in Britain. The couple share their beautiful home with their youngest daughter, Amber, after their eldest, Phoebe, flew the nest last year to attend drama school. A source close to Tess shared with Closer that the presenter was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions about Phoebe’s departure.

“She’s incredibly proud and excited for her to experience a new adventure, but still feels upset when she thinks about her leaving the nest and is worried over how the family dynamic at home is set to change,” they revealed. Despite this, the family’s estate is far from quiet, with Tess’ adorable Shetland ponies Honey and Willow freely roaming the grounds, along with the family’s two lovable dogs who often make appearances on her social media.

The couple have also added their own personal touches to the property, including a swimming pool perfect for summer dips, and a vegetable patch where they grow strawberries and raspberries. Inside, Tess and Vernon have created their dream space, with reports suggesting the couple are worth an impressive £5 million.

A quick scroll through Tess’ social media reveals a home filled with modern luxuries, including a home gym, a sleek monochromatic kitchen, and stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. Tess shared a selfie of her inside her gym which used to be her shed. Now, she has fitted out the space with state-of-the-art equipment, perfect for during the coronavirus lockdowns when she couldn’t access the gym.

Sharing a snap at the time, she wrote: “Really wanted to motivate myself this morning so got up early ahead of the kids home schooling/lunches etc to do a zoom workout in the gym (shed)”. Go on girl! The wooden decking in the garden is a great spot for barbecues or a glass of wine on a summer’s eve. By the woven sofa are two outdoor lamps, so the family can sit outside with flickering candle light.

The star has previously admitted that this is her “favourite spot” in the entire property with the stylised wicker swing bench which is decorated by grey pillows. We can see that the garden includes a luscious lawn and well-trimmed hedges. The family have their own swimming pool which is great for kids and adults alike during summer.

Meanwhile, Vernon recently vented his frustration about a troublesome household item that’s been causing stress in his family. Speaking on his BBC Radio 2 show, the 50-year-old presenter vented about the constant issues he faces with his printer and called for a change on technology advice.

“From experience in our house, it’s the only piece of modern technology, and I’m including the kettle and the toaster and the fryer, it’s the one piece that causes you the most grief. They’re a nightmare printers, they really are,” he said. On the “basic” one he bought, he continued: “We’ve got one, I went for the basic [one] where you’re online and you can allegedly print from your Wi-Fi… doesn’t work.”

He also expressed disbelief at ongoing problems like paper jams, adding: “If you email it, [it] doesn’t work. Paper jam, still exists. How in 2024 is a paper jam still a thing?”. Vernon called for more straightforward tech advice, adding: “We need to bring back some kind of technology programme and just be honest. ‘Don’t use this, it’s garbage, get this one’. You know what I mean? Just be upfront because technology is so difficult.”

He recalled the overwhelming options when purchasing: “When I went and bought it there were so many printers on offer, they did so many things. It’s like, ‘Listen, all I need to do is to help my kids print off their homework, that’s all it is, I don’t want this, that and the other’.”

In a recent, light-hearted revelation, the presenter humorously lamented about his family’s refusal to let him have ‘a chickenarium’, something he’s longed for. He recounted the experience, sharing: “It’s funny isn’t it, when your kids ask, ‘Can we have a hamster, can we a goldfish, can we have a gerbil?’. You’re like, ‘Yeah, no problem as long as you look after it, you’ll be fine’.

“(Meanwhile, if) I want a chicken, not a chance, it’s not fair! They’ve got ponies and all sorts. But, I want a chicken, and I can’t have a chicken. There’s something romantic about going down to the garden and pulling the eggs out and saying, ‘Look what we’ve got’.”

Despite the family’s resistance, Vernon hasn’t given up on his desire to have one, adding: “Right, when I go home tonight, I’m going to tell the gang that we’re having a chickenarium. And they’ll go, ‘What’s one of them?’, and I’ll be like, ‘Just you wait and see’.”
