Tess embraced the Barbiecore trend and opted to wear a blush pink summer dress complete with elegant floaty sleeves and a white and lilac floral print.

She wore her luminous blonde locks down loose in a stylish side part, and finished off her look with defined brows, lashings of telescopic mascara and a rich, nude lip.

A third chimed in: "Sweet photos," and a fourth sweetly added: "Beautiful," followed by a starry-eyed smiley face.

Aside from spending time with her canine clan, Tess unwinds by taking part in regular online yoga classes. During the global pandemic, she said: "After the kids have had their breakfast and they're doing their first online lesson of the day, I will take myself off for a 20-minute online yoga class because it's brilliant.

"Not just for the physical side, the flexibility side. It's great for putting you in a really good headspace so you feel like you're in control of your day rather than being bombarded by outside elements such as the news you can't control."

Beyond this, the TV star is a huge advocate for meditation. Speaking of its benefits, she revealed: "In these busy hectic lives that we all lead, I think it's great, if you can, to take out 20 minutes at the start of the day just for yourself to meditate and sit quietly because the day definitely flows better afterwards."

Because we instantly had such a blast together. I couldn't imagine having more fun with anyone else. It was all pretty explosive, I tell you."

The happy couple share their idyllic home with their two daughters, Phoebe, 18, and Amber, 14. Their eldest daughter Phoebe Elizabeth Kay, was born on 17 October 2004, whilst their second child, Amber Isabella Kay, was born on 30 May 2009.
