Children In Need takes place tomorrow night (November 17) and Vernon Kay has received support from “proud” wife Tess Daly as he raises funds ahead of the BBC’s televised charity drive.
Vernon, 49, is taking on an Ultra UltraMarathon Challenge. That involves the Radio 2 presenter travelling over 115 miles from Leicester to Bolton over four days on foot.
And earlier today (November 16), Strictly Come Dancing co-host Tess, 54, took to Instagram to hail her hubby as she shared footage of him breaking down with emotion.
Parents ‘proud’ of Vernon Kay
Yesterday (Wednesday November 15), Vernon chatted with fellow DJ Jo Whiley as he carbed up with a baked potato with tuna.
Among the callers on Jo’s show wishing Vernon well were his parents, who said they were blown away with the reaction to Vernon’s charity efforts.
“The support you’re getting is getting to me!” his mum Gladys said during the call in. Sobbing, she told her son she was “so, so proud”, causing Vernon to rub his eyes.
But Gladys and Vernon’s dad weren’t the only family members to express their support. Wife Tess also praised him as she made clear how proud of him she is herself.
