Vernon Kay says ‘I’ll get grief’ from Tess Daly over ‘embarrassing’ daughter confession

BBC Radio 2 host Vernon Kay was worried he was going to “get grief” from his Strictly wife Tess Daly after making an embarrassing confession about their daughter.

Speaking live on air earlier today (January 15) about how he had the fortune of meeting star actor Timothee Chalamet, Vernon admitted that his comments may land him in hot water with his wife.

Adopting a somewhat comedic tone, the radio DJ revealed how the situation began, as he said: “He did me a favour last night did big Tim, having his picture taken with our Amber.”

However, despite his good deed yesterday, he admitted that “Timothee might be Amber’s first crush”.

He quickly added how he is expecting instant backlash for broadcasting his daughter’s secret live on air: “I’ll get grief now from Tess now saying ‘you’ve really embarrassed her, saying that Timothee Chalamet is her first crush’.”

Meanwhile, Timothee caught those in attendance at the A Complete Unknown film premiere by surprise last night (January 14). The 29-year-old went against tradition as he opted to use a rented bicycle to make his way down the red carpet.

The highly-popular Hollywood star takes centre stage in the new biopic detailing the life of 83-year-old singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.

Speaking about the upcoming film on the Graham Norton Show, the actor revealed how it had been delayed as a consequence of Coronavirus.

He said: “I had a lot of time to practice because we were meant to make the film five and half years ago, then there was Covid and then there was the actors’ strike, so I have had years to prepare. I was confident about singing and by the time we got to do the film I wanted to sing and play the songs live.”

Prior to taking up the lead role playing Bob Dylan, Timothee’s first major role came in 2014 when he played the son of Matthew McConaughey’s character in Interstellar.

And, before long, he would continue to reach new heights with starring roles in the likes of Dune, and he was even cast as Willy Wonka in Paul King’s portrayal of the children’s book.
