Tess Daly: Strictly host reveals 50th birthday gaffe after recent family heartbreak


Tess Daly revealed she had been inundated with birthday messages as many believed she was turning 50 today.

However, the Strictly Come Dancing host explained it was wrong and she actually celebrated the big birthday last month.

The mother-of-two uploaded a picture of herself in a bikini to explain the blunder to her Instagram followers.

Tess looked incredible as she showed off her slender figure in a halterneck bikini, matched with a pair of pink shorts. 

“I just wanted to say thanks so much for all your lovely birthday messages,” she began her post.

“But….this photo was taken on my birthday which was actually a month ago! (Wikipedia isn’t always right).”

Tess said the snap had been taken when she did celebrate her 50th last month whilst soaking up the sun in the Maldives.

She continued: “I got to celebrate my (biiiig!) birthday soaking up the sunshine in the beautiful Maldives; which felt like the perfect place to also celebrate feeling another year older, wiser and more grateful because as you mature you understand more that it’s not about what you own- or what you look like but so much MORE about the people you love and the person you’ve become.”

Tess said being another year older is a “privilege” as she reflected on the special occasion.

The star added: “And one thing I’ll never regret is growing older as it’s a privilege denied to many. Sending happy Saturday vibes to you all and lots of love XXX #belated #birthday #holiday #kanahura.” 

Tess revealed she was completely unaware the pup had run out of the house, and sadly didn’t have time to stop the car as the pet ran underneath the wheels.

A source said: “Tess is deeply saddened by the traumatic event, explaining: “It all happened in a flash and there was absolutely nothing she could do. But it was sickening.

“Minnie was like another child to Tess and Vernon and to lose a member of the family in such a tragic, hideous way is understandably devastating.”

Tess shared the dog with her husband Vernon Kay, 44, and their children Phoebe, 14, and Amber, nine.

The family also have a four-year-old Chihuahua, Blue, and two one-year old Shetland ponies, called Honey and Willow.
