Tess Daly’s marriage to Vernon Kay is ‘work in progress’

She was left heartbroken after her husband Vernon Kay’s ‘sexting’ scandal with glamour model Rhian Sugden came to light. 

And now Tess Daly has opened up about the status of her relationship with the radio DJ following the betrayal in 2010 – and again in 2015 – admitting that it was ‘still a work in progress.’

‘All marriages have their moments’ the Strictly Come Dancing host, 48, told The Times before adding: ‘Marriage is a work in progress. Vernon and I are just people, at the end of the day.’

  

‘It’s still a work in progress’: Tess Daly, 48, has opened up about the status of her relationship with husband Vernon Kay, 43, following his ‘sexting scandal’ in 2010 – and again in 2015 – with Rhian Sugden

Vernon was famously forced to make a public apology to his wife Tess Daly on Radio 1 back in 2010 after a set of saucy messages to Rhian emerged.

The father-of-two went on to promise live on air that he would no longer contact Rhian or the four other women he had been caught messaging at the time.

It was then revealed the pair had got back in touch in 2015 with Vernon sending hundreds of texts asking to ‘reconnect’ with the model.

After a break of six years, the busty blonde admitted after her confession that his reaching out to her had felt like an ‘old friendship coming back’.

However, Vernon claimed that his WhatsApp messages asking Rhian to meet had been taken out of context, that he had done ‘nothing wrong’ and that his wife was completely aware of all contact.

The blonde beauty – who is engaged to Oliver Mellor – recently claimed however that she had been treated as ‘the villain’ in the light of the sexting scandal, while the radio host has had a career boost.

Speaking on Celebrity Sex Pod earlier this year, the beauty reasoned: ‘He got drunk and sent inappropriate text messages to me. And I’m the one people would pour drinks on.’ 

On both occasions, Tess forgave her husband and it was said at the time that despite her ‘humiliation’ she was not likely to leave Kay.

She added: ‘I’m the one people would spit on. My career didn’t go anywhere but his went up. I even lost contracts. I was just known as a sex-texter.’ 

Rhian has been happily engaged to ex Coronation Street star Oliver Mellor since 2014.

He proposed to her by getting down on one knee in front of a packed audience at the Manchester Opera House after performing his stage show Black Coffee at the venue.
