Tess Daly poses with lookalike daughter Phoebe, 20, on Christmas night out – and she’s just as stunning as her mum
TESS Daly’s lookalike daughter Phoebe has given a glimpse of her glamourous Christmas night out with her mum.
The mother and daughter were all smiles as they beamed at the camera while celebrating the festivities.
New pictures and video show the bonded pair posing for a mirror photo looking very glammed up.
Tess, 55, dressed for the festive season wearing a halterneck top adorned with shiny gold sequins.
The age-defying presenter paired this with some black trousers and hoop earrings.
Meanwhile, her daughter Phoebe, 20, dressed to the nines in a black ballgown with a crossover design and cut out detailing.
They both styled their long blonde locks in loose waves, and wore a smokey eye makeup look with nude lipstick.
Phoebe captioned the adorable snap: “All smiles always with mama.”
Her followers gushed in the comment section, with one saying: “Stunners.”
Another added: “Beautiful ladies.”
A third penned: “You look so alike!”
This comes after Vernon Kay gave us an insight into how the family celebrate Christmas in their six-bed mansion.
Vernon told The Sun: “We’re all actually really looking forward to sitting around and playing games this Christmas.
“One of the games we play on the Xbox is called Drawful and it’s bit of a modern take on Pictionary.
“With me and Tess, we’ve made sure the kids feel that no conversation is kind of off the table so when it comes to discussing stuff, they’re really good.
“Sometimes it takes a while, but we do talk about all kinds of things and I think technology is a big one because you can get really sucked up into the vacuum cleaner that is the digital world.
How does Tess Daly stay looking young?
SHE shines every Saturday night as she takes to the BBC ballroom to host Strictly Come Dancing – a job she’s had since the very first series in 2004.
But almost two decades on, 55-year-old presenter Tess Daly has never looked better and has managed to not only keep ageing at bay, but somehow look years younger.
While Tess has a naturally slim physique – she’s a former teen model who worked in New York City – she’s also found exactly what works for her.
And that means that in the past twenty years, Tess, who also hosts other big BBC shows like Children in Need, has perfected the products in her make-up bag and skincare cupboard.
She’s also upped her fashion game further and steps out with her skin always glowing – something that’s not just down to the infamous Strictly tan.
But what does Tess. who has two daughters with fellow TV star husband Vernon Kay, swear by, and what is her skincare, diet and exercise regime really like?
WHAT SKINCARE PRODUCTS DOES TESS USE?
Tess credits her mum, Sylvia, with teaching her the importance of a good skincare routine from an early age.
She said in a previous interview: “When it comes to cleansing, I use micellar water with a cotton pad to take my make-up off.
“I also wouldn’t dream of going to bed without moisturising and in the morning I moisturise after I cleanse because dry skin as we know looks a lot more aged than moisturised, luminous-looking skin.”
In the chat with Evoke, Tess also said that while her products change from time to time, she had started to use Clarins Super Restorative Day Cream, which can be bought from for £77.
Other products she’s raved about in the past include Estee Lauder’s Instant Refinishing Facial Exfoliating Cream, which she revealed she used a couple of times a week.
The product, which costs around £44 promises to “softly buff dead skin and debris with micro-refined particles, refining texture and renewing clarity and radiance.”
They add: “[The] active extracts and nutrients work to boost moisture levels, visibly softening the look of pores and wrinkles.”
WHAT EXERCISE DOES TESS DO?
Despite presenting the most famous dancing show on TV, Tess’ exercise regime is less ballroom and latin and more yoga and skipping.
The star said she used to exercise on a more “ad-hoc” basis, before now doing it much more regularly.
Her favourite exercises include yoga – particularly a class she can do at home in between working and running a busy household.
She explained: “I love Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. I’ve tried others but I just keep going back to her because she has a solution for everything I’m feeling.
“If I skip it for, say, three days in a row, I start to feel twitchy – as though I’ve missed doing something that’s good for me. I actually feel more flexible now.”
The mum-of-two has also revealed she works with a personal trainer called Sam Shaw.
Between the two of them they’ve come up with a tailored fitness plan for Tess, who prefers morning
Her trainer told Women’s Health: “We usually train in the morning to get her ready to take on her day with a winning mindset after smashing training.”
They get stuck into a varied line-up of workouts from intermittent skipping to get her heart rate up to jumping on a mini-trampoline. And Sam said her rest days are also important, as she usually has two a week.
WHAT DIET DOES TESS FOLLOW?
Tess has previously opened up about following a healthy, balanced diet, full of nutritious items.
After reading a book called The Food Pharmacy by Jean Carper which she picked up at a flea market in New York, Tess said she started to think about food differently.
She explained: “It was all about using food as an equivalent to medicine – for example, something as basic as rubbing half a garlic clove on a piece of sourdough bread and pouring olive oil on it.
“That kind of thing is brilliant for your bloodstream and your immune system.”
Since, she’s adapted this for her own busy lifestyle, and opened up about the dishes she likes to rustle up for both her and her family.
Speaking about what she typically has for breakfast, Tess previously told Getthegloss.com: “Sometimes I have a power smoothie or juice but mostly I like Greek yoghurt with a handful of frozen blueberries.
“I microwave them and make a puree to put on top of the yoghurt. It’s like having pudding for breakfast – divine – or I’ll have a banana on toast with honey.”
But she also revealed that the key is, you guessed it, enjoying everything in moderation. And she’ll never hold herself back if she fancies a treat.
Tess added: “At the weekend, I’ll cook us all a nice big veggie breakfast with lots of eggs and grilled tomatoes. Lunch is usually a sandwich – I love bread, I would never ever give that up.”
“You’ve got to maintain that connection of reality so we do encourage them to to go out and and play and take up sports, like Phoebe is has taken up golf, which is a joy for me.
“Outdoor activities are really, really important, but I think you’ve really got to embrace the digital world and I think having better connectivities is really important.”
Tess was overcome with emotion after winning professional dancer Dianne Buswell made a passionate speech about her celebrity partner Chris McCausland on Strictly Come Dancing.
She said of blind comic Chris who lost his sight at 22 years old: “I have taught Chris all this time without a single visual cue.
“He’s not been able to look at a video back to see if he did a great job or needs to work on anything.
“He’s never been able to see his competitors, yet he’s seen this competition so well because he’s captured the spirit of the show.
“I could not be more proud of him. He has shown that anything is possible.”
The camera then panned to Tess who was fighting back tears after Dianne’s heartfelt words.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun as part of EE‘s campaign to improve Christmas with its latest tech upgrade WiFi 7 technology, Vernon Kay told us: “I think Dianne has been an absolute saint in the way she’s allowed people to realise that you know having a disability isn’t the be all end all.
“Chris has done absolutely amazingly and Dianne had everyone in tears in the semi-final when she said, look, Chris hasn’t seen other people dance.
“He hasn’t seen what he’s accomplished, what he’s achieved. He hasn’t seen his own hand placement or footwork.
“It just struck a cord and touched everyone in the studio. Tess was in tears and she had to really fight back tears when she did the next link to introduce the next dancer.
“I think it just summed up everything Chris has achieved.
“That’s what Strictly is all about. Watching it makes you feel good.
“When you strip it down, it’s about dancing. Dancing is difficult, but when it’s done well it looks amazing.”
