Overview
- In a new interview with The Times, Vernon Kay said the bond with daughters Phoebe and Amber is changing as they become independent and he told them they must “graft” because “your mum and I aren’t going to give you everything.”
- He flagged drink spiking as a key safety worry that he says was not on parents’ radar in the 1990s.
- The couple live in Buckinghamshire with Amber, 16, while Phoebe, 21, has moved to New York, a relocation she first shared in a TikTok post.
- On BBC Radio 2, Kay said a bad back has slowed his house and garden chores, prompting colleague Gary Davies to joke on air and say “Sorry, Tess.”
- He also recalled a “horrendous” One Show moment when a rumbling stomach left him fighting the giggles during a serious link.
