Vernon Kay shuts down GMB’s Ed Balls over probing question about wife Tess Daly: ‘Behave yourself!’
One too many questions about Celebrity Traitors for Vern…
GMB viewers hailed Vernon Kay today as he shut down Ed Balls during a conversation about his Strictly star wife Tess Daly.
Vernon has been married to Tess since 2003, and the duo share two daughters, Phoebe and Amber.
And, while Vernon hasn’t hesitated in making cheeky remarks about his life with Tess before, he couldn’t help but tell Ed to stop as he was relentlessly probed about the pair joining the cast of Celebrity Traitors.

Vernon Kay appears on Good Morning Britain
Tess’ husband appeared on Wednesday’ (February 12) episode of Good Morning Britain to promote his upcoming DJ tour.
However, talk soon turned to the celebrity edition of The Traitors, which will be hosted by Tess’ best pal Claudia Winkleman.
Ed’s co-host Susanna Reid asked whether Vernon and his wife have been approached to appear in the spin-off series.
Vernon responded: “Well, it keeps cropping up this Celebrity Traitors. We haven’t been approached, or have we?”
When the GMB host said: “You’ve got to be a good liar to be on Celebrity Traitors,” he teasingly replied: “We’re not doing it, or are we? So, we’ll see.”

‘Behave yourself!’
Ed then asked whether his wife’s a good liar, just in case she ends up being a Traitor on the show.
Vernon responded: “She always laughs when she tells a fib, whereas I’m terrible… I think it’d be an interesting psychological experience that, it’s an amazing show.”
The witty banter went on before Vernon told Ed: “Behave yourself!”
GMB viewers react
Viewers were quick to react to the hilarious telly moment on X.
Laughing at Vernon’s response, one said: “Vernon telling Ed Balls to ‘behave yourself’ has made my day.”
Another added: “I like Vernon – he’s so down to earth.” A third joined in with Ed’s probing, declaring: “I’d love to see Tess and Vernon on The Traitors – come on BBC, sign them up!”
