Tess Daly’s eldest daughter embraced the wild side of fashion as she attended the latest recording of the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing wearing animal print.
Show host Tess, 55, is a proud mother-of-two – sharing daughters Phoebe, 20, and Amber, 15, with husband of 21-years Vernon Kay, 50. On Saturday night, Strictly reached the quarter final stage with a thrilling Musicals Week themed night of dance and music as the six remaining contestants battled to make it to the quarter finals.
And Phoebe was in the audience to watch her mum hold the show together in her role as host. Phoebe arrived at the BBC studios in the company of Gabby Logan’s daughter, Lois Maya Logan, and the pair looked ready to enjoy an entire night of fun and foot tapping action.
Phoebe stood out in a striking, sleeveless, halterneck top in a striking animal print design. She matched the top with a pair of sand coloured trousers and added extra height by wearing a pair of pointed, shimmering silver heels. And Lois also looked sharp in an animal print shirt of her own.
Earlier this year, Tess opened up about her struggle to watch her eldest daughter go to university and leave the nest. She told Hello! in July: “I remember when she first went, with all her bags and her first frying pan… a plate for one, knife and fork for one. I was heartbroken just dropping her off and waving goodbye. But it was fine, because she was back after a couple of weeks, visiting. She comes back quite regularly.”

She also opened up about dealing with her daughter’s during the potentially difficult teenage years. She said: “I’m lucky, as I’ve got two really good girls. You have to negotiate those teenage moods and hormones. They want to be in their bedroom, talking to their friends; they want to socialise, but that’s just part of the process. I’m really hands-on because I just love it. For me, every step along the journey of parenting has been precious, because I know one day they’ll grow up and leave, and I’m not even ready to think about that yet.”
Back in 2015, Tess explained that she really enjoyed being able to engage with her daughters as they began to grow up and were able to appreciate more independent aspects to life – like sitting at a table and feeding themselves. She recounted in a chat with the Huffington Post at the time: “They can sit quite nicely, in a restaurant, over a pizza and be quite civilised. No more wipes, no more nappies in the bag, no more sterilising bottles… Freedom. I do enjoy that freedom. They’re a lot more portable once you get past the age of three.”
She also gushed about motherhood more generally, saying: “Talking babies, or about being a mum, is my favourite subject in the entire world… Being mum is the great leveller because we’re all coming from the same place – we just want the best for our children and we want to do the best we can.”
