Vernon Kay has taken to Instagram to share adorable pictures for his eldest daughter’s birthday and the likeness to mother and Strictly presenter Tess Daly is uncanny!
The former model and Radio 2 host, 49, shared a photo with his 763 thousand Instagram followers of himself with two daughters, Phoebe, 19, and Amber, 14, when they were little, hugging in a sweet family moment.
The post was captioned: “Happy 19th Phoebe!!! Enjoy…So proud of everything you’ve achieved so far in life. Can’t wait for the next big step…(and of course another dance at the rave!) .”
Mother Tess Daly, 54, commented “my loves” and took to Instagram to share her own post – a more recent picture of herself and her lookalike daughter having fun in a beer garden.

Tess and Vernon have taken to Instagram before to share intimate family moments with their fans. In July Tess marked the end of Phoebe’s school days with an adorable old school photo of her young daughter doing the egg and spoon race and a touching snap of a young Phoebe’s old school shoes.

Although her birth experience wasn’t easy, she recalls the special moment she first held baby Phoebe. “Phoebe was brought to my room over an hour after I had her,” Tess remembers. “I was so happy to finally have my baby in my arms and to be able to cradle and hold her next to my skin. Having her here just felt like the most natural thing in the world.”

The showbiz couple also share a younger daughter, Amber. Last summer the family-of-four shared their travels, showing fans beautiful pictures of their trip to the Isle of Wight.
