Tess Daly is one of the most sought after presenters on television. As one half of the Strictly presenting duo, she and co-host Claudia Winkleman made history when they became the first two female stars to front a prime time show.
And since they took over, the hit BBC show has gone from strength to strength, drawing in huge audiences and topping the ratings charts.
Away from the spotlight, Tess is a devoted mum to her two daughters, Amber, 11, and Phoebe, 15, who she shares with husband, fellow presenter, Vernon Kay.
The couple met in 2001 and tied the knot two years later in Horwich, near Vernon's home town of Bolton in Greater Manchester.
