Strictly Come Dancing fans go wild as Vernon Kay makes a cheeky comment about his wife Tess Daly during surprise appearance live on air

Strictly fans went wild after Vernon Kay made a cheeky comment about his wife Tess Daly live on air on Saturday’s show. 

The TV star, 49, made a surprise on appearance during the semi-final to read the terms and conditions of voting to viewers.

The Radio 2 presenter was joined by his wife’s co-host Claudia Winkleman during the segment and she congratulated him on recently raising millions for Children In Need.

Claudia then said: ‘I would like you to say her name but let me set the scene. You are snuggling, it’s Sunday, maybe the puppy is on your lap and maybe you have had a delicious roast. Say her name with romance and love.’

Vernon replied: ‘Well, obviously I would be wearing some pyjamas and have a Baileys, maybe a splash of cologne. Tess, over to you’.
