Tess Daly took to Instagram to share a picture of her daughter Phoebe, 18, and husband Vernon Kay after finishing her last day of school on Wednesday.

The family very rarely show images of their children but clearly wanted to mark the ‘monumental chapter’.

‘As a parent it feels pretty monumental, we’re so proud of you Phoebe; here’s to the next chapter!’

The Strictly host began sharing Phoebe more than usual when she celebrated her 18th birthday and posted another snap.

Last month the family enjoyed a night at Beyoncé’s concert at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Tess danced alongside husband Vernon who cut a casual figure in a dark sports jacket and appeared to know the words to every song.

It comes Tess admitted she tracks daughter Phoebe on an app because she worries about her safety while she’s driving alone.

She revealed on the Spinning Plates podcast that her eldest is a new driver which is the reason for her concerns.

She said: ‘When your child starts to drive, that’s a whole new minefield. I’ve got that app LIFE360 and I track Phoebe on it obsessively until she gets to her destination.

‘It’s because she’s a new driver. And the relief when I see she’s reached it . . . you never stop worrying.

The Strictly host joked: ‘She’s only gone for 20 minutes and I’m a nervous wreck. It’s ridiculous. Loosen the leash!’

Despite her concerns she admitted that she is letting her girls forge their own life paths.

The television personality also gushed that she and Vernon have a ‘great relationship’ with them.

She said: ‘You just have to advise them and gently guide the way. It has to feel like they’re reaching their own decisions in life.

‘But they’re needing more as they get older. They need more life advice, there seems to be more mental hand-holding.

‘You never stop parenting. I don’t know when that all-seeing eye ends.’
