Tess and Gayle have also twinned on separate holidays

Earlier this month Tess spoke exclusively to HELLO! and revealed what had inspired her to design a resort wear range specifically: "My happy place is the south of France – the light, the language, the food, and the ambiance."

Tess fondly described her dream holiday with her husband, This Morning's Vernon Kay: "For me, the ideal vacation would be somewhere with plenty of sunshine, wonderful beaches, and glorious seaside walks – and Vernon does love a round of golf when we’re away."

It was indeed the French Riviera that inspired the Naia Beach pieces she modeled in HELLO!’s exclusive photographs, alongside her fabulous lookalike best friend.
