Vernon Kay is reportedly planning to move out of his family home, three months after announcing his split from Tess Daly. The BBC Radio 2 presenter, 52, and the former Strictly Come Dancing host, 57, got married in 2003 and share two daughters, Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 16. It has now been reported that Vernon will be leaving the family’s six-bedroom Buckinghamshire home and moving to a property located around 15 minutes away.
The house, which reportedly costs £3 million, boasts a pool and extensive grounds and is being renovated by the presenter. “They’ve been navigating the end of their marriage carefully and haven’t rushed into anything. Vernon has now bought a place close to the family home in Buckinghamshire,” a source said. “It means he can stay close to their girls, which is something important to both him and Tess.”
The insider said that work on Vernon’s new property is not yet complete, and he will only move out of the family home once the work has been finished.
“He’s having renovations done and will move out when the house is ready. Tess is supporting him with the move,” they added to The Sun. “It’s going to be very strange for them after living together for over two decades, so they’re both treating the situation with care and respect.”
Tess and Vernon announced their split in a joint statement in May, describing their separation as amicable and confirming they would remain friends.
They said: “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 for what is best for both of us.”
The pair concluded: “We remain great friends and, most importantly, fully committed to our roles as loving and supportive parents, which will always be our priority. 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.”
Earlier this month, fans noticed that Tess had removed her wedding ring when she shared a video on Instagram from her latest photoshoot for swimwear brand Naia Beach.
Tess and Vernon appear to have remained on friendly terms, with the radio presenter publicly supporting the former model’s swimwear brand by liking and commenting on Instagram.
