Tess Daly has hinted that she's embarking on an exciting new project with her eldest daughter, Phoebe Kay.

The Strictly Come Dancing presenter shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse on Instagram on Wednesday, stopping short of revealing what the pair are working on.

Teasing the collaboration with the caption: “No longer bring your daughter to work day, but working alongside her.”

Daly, 57, shares daughters Phoebe, 21, and Amber, 17, with broadcaster Vernon Kay.

The post comes just months after Daly and Kay announced they had amicably separated after more than two decades of marriage.

In a joint statement released in May, they said: “After much consideration, and with a deep sense of care and respect for one another, we have made the decision to separate amicably.”

“This has not been an easy choice, but it comes from a place of mutual understanding and a shared desire for what is best for both of us.

Despite the split, the former couple have continued to co-parent their two daughters and have spoken of their commitment to putting family first.

“We remain great friends and more importantly, fully committed to our roles as loving and supportive parents, which will always be our priority,” the statement added.

“There are no other parties involved in this decision. We kindly ask for privacy during this time as we navigate this transition together.”

Kay and Daly are thought to have a £6 million fortune and both have high salaries, meaning they likely won’t need to battle it out over joint wealth.
