Tess Daly expecting second child

Tess Daly has announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Vernon Kay.

The couple, who already have four-year-old daughter Phoebe together, confirmed the news after informing friends and family over Christmas.

"We are over the moon about the prospect of a new addition to our family," Daly told The Mirror. "We're very much looking forward to having a brother or sister for Phoebe to play with."

Kay added: "It's such a gift. We're so happy and overjoyed."

Last month, Daly revealed that she had sparked the curiosity of her friends by wearing billowing dresses on Strictly Come Dancing.

The TV host added that she had responded to their pregnancy speculation by saying: "No I'm not, it's just a fat belly. Leave me alone."
