Tess Daly appeared thoroughly in her element as she posed for promotional photographs for her luxury swimwear range with Naia Beach. In the shots, the former Strictly Come Dancing presenter can still be seen sporting her wedding ring, despite bringing her marriage to Vernon Kay to a close last month. The series of images was posted to 57-year-old Tess' personal Instagram account, where they caught the attention of her estranged husband, 52, who 'liked' the collection of bikini photographs.

Tess and Vernon have remained on good terms throughout their separation, and were spotted enjoying themselves together at the food and music festival Pub In The Park, where they danced to acts including Craig David.The former couple were accompanied by mutual friends, amongst them Two Pints of Lager star Will Mellor. At the Buckinghamshire event, Vernon was also observed still wearing his ring.

In a joint statement published on Instagram, the pair, who had been wed for 22 years, said: "After much consideration, and with a deep sense of care and respect for one another, we have made the decision to separate amicably. This has not been an easy choice, but it comes from a place of mutual understanding and a shared desire for what is best for both of us.", reports the Mirror.

"We remain great friends and more importantly, fully committed to our roles as loving and supportive parents, which will always be our priority. There are no other parties involved in this decision. We kindly ask for privacy during this time as we navigate this transition together. We will not be making any further public comments. Tess and Vernon."

The pair married in 2003 and are parents to two daughters Phoebe, 21 and Amber, 16.

It comes as it was reported the couple are planning a 'quickie divorce' and are said to be intending to use online solicitors to keep proceedings civil and legal costs to a minimum. A source told the Mirror: "Tess doesn't want to spend thousands on solicitors for a divorce. A friend suggested they look at getting a quickie divorce online. They don't see there's anything to fight over and know they'll agree on everything fairly."
