Tess Daly, 56, dazzles in pink swimsuit and golden two-piece after jetting off to Turkey to model her new collection

Daily Mail​01-05-2025

Tess Daly looked incredible in a pink and white swimsuit on Wednesday as she gave her Instagram followers a glimpse of her new collection.
The Strictly Come Dancing presenter, 56, shared sizzling snaps of her modelling her new Naia Beach swimwear while soaking in the Turkish sun in Bodrum.
Tess looked glowing as she smiled for a selfie in the patterned number matching with a pair of light pink sunglasses.
She accessorised the swimsuit with two glamorous golden necklaces which only added to the outfits glamour.
She too posed up a storm poolside with a dazzling all-golden look which complemented her long blonde locks.
Underneath a see-through sheer sundress, the presenter, who's married to Vernon Kay, flaunted her slimline figure with a golden bikini before slipping into a pair of flip flops and adding to the outfit with some stylish sunglasses.
Tess also posed for photos on the beach, both alone and with Naia Beach co-founder and long-term friend Gayle Lawton.
The blonde beauties smiled for a selfie together with Tess donning a pristine white sundress over a blue and red patterned bikini.
Tess and Gayle also posed for a group photo with two models looking incredible in their light blue bikinis.
Finally, Tess put on a sensational look as she soaked in the sunshine, putting on a leggy display in a white dress accessorised with a gold bag to match her sunglasses.
The photos, which have racked more than 3,000 likes, were captioned: 'Day 1 wrapped for our next season @naia_beach campaign shoot!
'Total magic, an incredible team and the most beautiful backdrop. 2 more days to go!'
Just hours earlier, Tess sported a dazzling all-pink look for a selfie to announce she had touched down in Turkey.
'Touched down in Bodrum and setting in at @@rixospremiumbodrum - here to shoot the new @Naia_beach swimwear campaign and honestly just soaking it all in,' she captioned the post.
'Let's go! Grateful to work in such beautiful locations! Wearing my new favourite swimsuit from this seasons collection.'
Tess and Gayle launched their swimwear brand back in 2021 and last year were awarded the the 'Best New Brand of the Year' award at the Drapers Independents Awards 2024.
Tess has regularly shared snaps of herself modelling her collections, and recently jetted off to Dubai to show off her phenomenal physique in some swimwear.
On the edge of an infinity pool with a picturesque background, Tess looked sensational in a light blue swimsuit in February.
She had been enjoying a luxury getaway in the UAE after agreeing to continue presenting Strictly Come Dancing along with Claudia Winkleman for a further two series.
The iconic presenters had come to the end of their contract with the show but, according to The Sun, BBC executives were keen to finalise their return.
Tess has been married to fellow British presenter Vernon Kay since 2003, having met him at a BBC Christmas party two years earlier.
For Vernon's 51st birthday earlier this week, his wife posted a sweet throwback photo of the couple on holiday.
The couple seemed young and in love in the holiday snap, which saw Vernon flashing a cheeky grin while shirtless on a boat.
Tess wore a beige cap and put her hand on her beau's chest and also beamed an adoring smile.
As well as the cute throwback photo, Tess too uploaded a newer picture of them looking as loved up as ever.
Vernon donned a mid blue denim jacket over a navy T-shirt, letting his long dark brown locks loose.
Tess, meanwhile, matched her husband in an admiral blue denim jumpsuit, accentuating her looks with a light makeup palette.
The couple share two children together, 20-year-old Phoebe and 15-year-old Amber.

BBC Antiques Roadshow expert 'highly moved' by mum's heartbreaking story

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Antiques Roadshow expert had an emotional reaction as he learned about a "very courageous" woman who spoke of her late son. During the BBC show filmed at Tredegar House in Wales, Marc Allum encountered a guest presenting a unique Status Quo themed tapestry. She shared: "Well my son was Status Quo mad, absolutely Status Quo mad. In the old days it was records they brought out. "I remember those!" Allum replied in recognition as she added: "CD's came later. And as time went on, we had to go out and buy it for him because he was disabled, he was in a wheelchair. He had an accident at 18." The lady explained further after being sensitively questioned by Allum: "A motorbike accident, paralysed from the chest down. No feeling from here down. "So he really couldn't use his limbs," he noted, leading her to clarify: "No, he could move his arms but he couldn't move his fingers. No use of his fingers." (Image: BBC) "That's a sad story," acknowledged Allum, pondering the tapestry's connection with her son. She revealed to Allum: "He was told he wasn't capable of doing anything and he didn't for five years". "After five years, he began doing a few things, tapestry was one of them. "As we'd pass through my kitchen, there at my kitchen table would be his wheelchair, and he would say 'thread me a few needles'. "And he used his teeth to push it through the tapestry and he would turn the whole frame over, it was on a swing, and pull it through with his teeth." The expert remarked: "That is unbelievable. So your son executed this entire tapestry with his teeth. "I mean, obviously I can see it lists all the albums, song titles and it's quite clearly dated. I think what would be fantastic would be if Status Quo got to know about this as well. "I think they would be absolutely massively impressed by the devotion of a fan who went to this kind of trouble." As the woman presented a photograph of her son, who had sadly passed away 20 years after his accident at the age of 39, the expert observed: "He looks to be a happy soul," to which she replied: "Oh he was so happy, he was a happy boy." The expert pointed out that the tapestry remained unfinished, prompting the woman to emotionally confirm: "No, it was never finished. Lots of people have asked if they could finish it for me and I've said no, it's not finished because he died. (Image: BBC) "And it was only after he died that I actually looked at the titles and he never repeated a title but he did towards the end and the title was So Ends Another Life." The expert acknowledged, "And I can see that final line at the bottom," as the woman added, "Yes, so he knew." He was visibly moved after confirming the name Colin Thomas Booth belonged to the guest's son. "I have to say I'm so highly moved, it's all I can do to carry on, to be honest with you", Allum said. "And the fact you've come here today to talk to me about this, I think is wonderful. "It's a testament to his achievement, producing something like this which I think is absolutely incredible. "This thing is priceless. I think it is an amazing thing. "Also, you've been very courageous to come and talk about it, so thank you very much." Antiques Roadshow is available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Original Grange Hill cast now from devastating death, ditching fame and addiction battle

The original cast of Grange Hill marked the childhoods of many kids around the country. Now, they all lead vastly different lives. It was the school where detention wasn't just a threat, and important social issues were brought to light. Grange Hill, the groundbreaking BBC drama that first aired in 1978, offered a realistic and honest look at the lives of secondary school pupils - tackling everything from racism and bullying, to drug addiction and teenage pregnancy. The show ran for three decades, amassing a vast alumni of child actors, many of whom became household names. But for every one who stayed in the limelight, others faded from view or faced difficult personal battles. Here's a look at where some of the most memorable stars are now. Lee MacDonald (Zammo McGuire) Zammo's harrowing heroin addiction storyline in the mid-1980s became one of the most talked-about plots in British television history. Played by Lee MacDonald, Zammo was a bright student whose descent into addiction shocked viewers and sparked a nationwide campaign: the now-iconic Just Say No anti-drugs initiative, supported by Nancy Reagan herself. After leaving Grange Hill, Lee struggled to find acting roles, later admitting that the association with drug addiction – albeit fictional – resulted in prejudice in casting offices. A keen amateur boxer, his sporting ambitions were dashed by a car accident, and he eventually opened a locksmith business in Wallington, Surrey. But Lee's TV career wasn't entirely over. He popped up in The Bill, Celebrity Scissorhands, and even EastEnders, playing Terry in 2019. In 2020, he proposed to his long-time partner Jess, and the pair married in 2022. More recently, in June 2024, Lee revealed he had been diagnosed with a form of skin cancer, but reassured fans that he was undergoing treatment after spotting it early. Todd Carty (Tucker Jenkins) Tucker Jenkins wasn't just a character – he was a phenomenon. Played by Todd Carty, Tucker was a rebel with a heart, whose popularity led to the successful spin-off Tucker's Luck. Todd's career soared post-Grange Hill, particularly when he joined EastEnders as Mark Fowler in 1990. Mark's HIV diagnosis broke new ground for soap storylines and earned Todd critical acclaim. He later flipped the script entirely, playing sinister PC Gabriel Kent in The Bill, a storyline that veered into dark and disturbing territory. Todd also found unexpected fame on Dancing on Ice in 2009, when a botched move saw him accidentally skate off the rink mid-routine – a moment that's lived on in viral clips ever since. Now 60, Todd lives in Muswell Hill with his long-term partner Dina Clarkin, a writer and producer. They have two sons and run their own production company. Susan Tully (Suzanne Ross) Susan Tully starred as headstrong Suzanne Ross in the early '80s before becoming a TV legend as Michelle Fowler in EastEnders. Her portrayal of a teenage mum, pregnant by none other than 'Dirty' Den Watts, made her one of the soap's most compelling characters. But it's behind the camera where Susan has truly flourished. She turned to directing in the 1990s, later leading high-profile shows like Line of Duty, Tin Star, Silent Witness, and Too Close. Known for her tight, character-driven style, she's now one of the most respected directors working in British TV. John Alford (Robbie Wright) John Alford had a promising career post-Grange Hill, finding further success in London's Burning and launching a brief pop career. But last year he was charged with four counts of sexual activity with a child, as well as two - relating to a second female - of sexual assault and assault by penetration. He is due to face trial in August. ‌ Terry Sue-Patt (Benny Green) Terry Sue-Patt played Benny Green, Grange Hill's first black character and a fan favourite. A talented footballer discovered in a London park, he also starred in the gritty Gary Oldman film The Firm. Sadly, Terry died in 2015, aged 50. His body was found in his Walthamstow flat, having reportedly been undiscovered for a month. He had battled alcoholism in his later years, and a number of fellow cast members paid tribute to him on social media. ‌ Erkan Mustafa (Roland Browning) Bullied for his weight, Roland – or 'Roly' – became a sympathetic figure for many viewers. Erkan Mustafa played the role with heart, though he later admitted acting wasn't something he initially pursued. ‌ He continued acting in low-key roles and later focused on writing. In interviews, Erkan has spoken fondly about his time on Grange Hill, saying he's grateful for the lifelong friendships it gave him. He also starred in The All-Nighter, a short film, in 2018. Donald Waugh (Joseph 'Hughesy' Hughes) Donald Waugh played Hughesy in the late '70s and then went on to work with theatre and launched a successful career - but endured a period of homelessness and alcohol addiction after leaving acting. He later turned his life around and now helps others struggling with similar issues, attending fan reunions and speaking openly about recovery. James Jebbia (Tommy Watson, series one) ‌ A little-known fact: the original Tommy Watson from series one was played by James Jebbia – who went on to found streetwear empire Supreme. The role in later series was taken over by Paul McCarthy. After leaving Grange Hill, James moved to New York and began working in fashion. By 1994, he'd launched Supreme, a cult brand now valued at over $1 billion. James keeps a famously low profile, but Vanity Fair reported that as of 2017, Supreme was generating more than $500 million annually. Simone Nylander (Janet St Clair) ‌ Janet was the sweet and loyal friend of Roly, and was played by Simone Nylander from 1982 to 1986. After the show, she dipped into production work and worked with Simon Fuller's 19 Management. In 2020, she launched SN Voices, a voiceover agency for diverse talent, combining her passion for performance and representation in media. Alison Bettles (Fay Lucas) Fay Lucas was a fan favourite, and Alison Bettles was part of the influential Just Say No campaign. She continued acting into the '90s, with appearances in The Bill, No Strings, and an EastEnders wartime special, making her last appearance in 2001. ‌ Now a mother of four, Alison works as a beauty therapist and reportedly runs a freight business. Two of her sons have followed in her footsteps, landing roles in Doctor Who and EastEnders. Paula-Ann Bland (Claire Scott) Claire Scott made headlines when her diary fantasy about a teacher prompted chaos. Off-screen, Paula-Ann Bland released a cover of The Loco-Motion and continued acting - and even shook audiences by posing topless for men's magazine Mayfair - before taking a step back from the industry. In the 1990s, she ran boutique shoe shops in London and launched a PR firm. Now a mum of two, she has survived breast cancer and is also an ambassador for The Good Grief Trust.
