Inside Strictly host Tess Daly and husband Vernon Kay’s sprawling six-bedroom mansion with home gym, swimming pool and luscious grounds for their two Shetland ponies

Away from their high profile jobs hosting Strictly Come Dancing and Radio 2, Tess Daly and Vernon Kay live in the Buckinghamshire countryside.

Tess, 55 and Vernon, 50, alongside daughters Phoebe, 20, and Amber, 15, set up home in a swanky six-bedroom mansion and often share a glimpses inside on Instagram.

Most recently Vernon and Phoebe filmed their first ever TV commercial together at the stunning property, with help from one of the families many pets, fluffy pup Mickey.

The idyllic home boasts a large conservatory kitchen and luxurious marble bathroom, as well as a huge swimming pool in the sweeping grounds – big enough to host Tess’ two Shetland ponies, Honey and Willow.

The house boasts a sleek white and grey kitchen, featuring a large preparation island and top-of-the-range steel equipment.

Doubling up as a space to relax, the kitchen then backs on to a large conservatory – complete with plush pastel sofas, as well as numerous large windows and even a skylight, to add to the airy feel.

The couple also keep in shape in their own home gym which boasts kettlebells, weight equipment with framed football shirts decorating the walls.

Known for her glamorous sense of style, The Strictly host often films her make-up looks for the show from her bathroom, which maintains the home’s lavish feel with marble tops, large mirrors over a double sink and even a luxurious walk-in shower.

The family also appear to be big fans of the big outdoors, and are often seen spending time in the mansion’s sprawling and leafy gardens.

The outdoor space comes with a chic wicker table and chairs, perfect for hosting BBQs in the summer months, while hot days are often spent in the swimming pool, complete with a variety of animal-themed floats.

Tess previously spoke to Hello! about their family life at home, and admitted she relishes in the time she is not working, as she is able to relax with her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.

‘It’s nice to have a bit of time to do ordinary things like the school run, baking with the kids after school, helping them with their homework. I live for that stuff, it’s my number one role as a mum,’ she said.

However, she added that her daughters are also very close to their father Vernon, continuing: ‘Vernon’s also a brilliant dad. He’s there at the netball matches, cheering on, and we never miss a concert. I’m very aware that you don’t get these precious times back.’

While TV presenter Vernon was on hand to support his daughter in their new add, he previously revealed that he and Tess insist his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren don’t live off their fame and must form ‘their own careers.’

It’s an important factor for the celebrity duo, who both fell into fame after being scouted as models and then turning to television.

Speaking to MailOnline in 2022, Vernon said he and his wife believe it’s important for their offspring ‘to find themselves’ and not be given their ‘life on a plate’, crediting the pair’s Northern backgrounds for shaping their parenting beliefs.

Vernon said: ‘We let them be independent when it comes to them and their futures because it’s important that you allow them to find themselves, which is character building and personality development.

Tess is of the same thinking as her husband, telling MailOnline in 2021 how she kept her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren ‘grounded’ against the trappings of fame and raises them with ‘morals, respect and a work ethic.’

The Strictly host revealed that Phoebe didn’t realise her mum worked on TV until she was seven years old as she and Vernon worked to keep their family shielded from the limelight.

Tess admitted ‘it has never been about us at home’ when talking about the importance of keeping her career separate from motherhood.

She explained: ‘They are so grounded they know the value of everything. It is everything for us.

‘They have good morals and respect others. It’s everything. They build their self-esteem via you. It is so important to us to keep them grounded.

‘It has never been about us at home – it is about them and their lives and us at a family. Phoebe didn’t even know I worked on TV until she was about seven!

She had no idea until she saw me once and said “there’s my mum!” She just thought I went to work on a Saturday because to them it is work.

‘Of course they thoroughly enjoy it and they loved watching their dad on I’m A Celeb, they love Strictly – but it is part of what we do and it doesn’t define who we are to them. We’re just mum and dad.

‘It’s really important for me that I don’t take away my 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s work ethic and their chance to find their own role in life by overshadowing them with your own.

‘It is important they learn to find their own way. It is not about us and ego has no place in our house. They are good, hard-working girls and we’re really proud of them. They’re growing up!’
