Vernon Kay and daughter Phoebe gave a sneak peak into their festive home on Friday as they filmed their first ever TV advert together. 

The father and daughter duo looked happier than ever as the radio presenter rocked a grey Christmas jumper as he joined his stunning eldest daughter, whom he shares with wife Tess Daly

Vernon, 50, and Phoebe, 20, were all smiles as they used an iPad to finish their last minute Christmas shopping from their lavish kitchen before sitting down to stream a festive movie for the partnership with EE.

In the advert, Vernon was seen lifting weights as he used the internet for an online workout class.

The TV star later playfully fell asleep next to his daughter while watching a film before she yelled 'dad' to wake him up.

Phoebe looked sensational in the advert in a black long sleeved fitted jumper which she paired with blue denim jeans.  

The father and daughter duo were also joined by their adorable family dog, Mickey before decorating their lavish Christmas tree in their home.

Since turning 18 Phoebe has started creeping into the public eye, making her red carpet debut alongside her father at the John Wick Chapter 4 premiere last March.

While TV presenter Vernon was on hand to support his daughter, he previously revealed that he and Tess insist his children don't live off their fame and must form 'their own careers.'

It's an important factor for the celebrity duo, who both fell into fame after being scouted as models and then turning to television.

Speaking to MailOnline in 2022, Vernon said he and his wife believe it's important for their offspring 'to find themselves' and not be given their 'life on a plate', crediting the pair's Northern backgrounds for shaping their parenting beliefs.

Vernon said: 'We let them be independent when it comes to them and their futures because it's important that you allow them to find themselves, which is character building and personality development.

'Sometimes I think that the old silver spoon and life on a plate in front of them… I think that's quite contradictory to how you want them to be.

'Tess and I grew up in hearty, wholesome Northern families and that's a huge trait that helped us in our personal development and I think that's really important.'

He added: 'I don't disagree with anyone that does that by helping their kids, which is great, but I just think sometimes for us, personally, it's whatever they're into, they can go and discover themselves.'

Tess is of the same thinking as her husband, telling MailOnline in 2021 how she kept her children 'grounded' against the trappings of fame and raises them with 'morals, respect and a work ethic.'

The Strictly host revealed that Phoebe didn't realise her mum worked on TV until she was seven years old as she and Vernon worked to keep their family shielded from the limelight.

Tess admitted 'it has never been about us at home' when talking about the importance of keeping her career separate from motherhood.

She explained: 'They are so grounded they know the value of everything. It is everything for us.

'They have good morals and respect others. It's everything. They build their self-esteem via you. It is so important to us to keep them grounded.

'It has never been about us at home – it is about them and their lives and us at a family. Phoebe didn't even know I worked on TV until she was about seven!

She had no idea until she saw me once and said "there's my mum!" She just thought I went to work on a Saturday because to them it is work.

'Of course they thoroughly enjoy it and they loved watching their dad on I'm A Celeb, they love Strictly – but it is part of what we do and it doesn't define who we are to them. We're just mum and dad.

'It's really important for me that I don't take away my children's work ethic and their chance to find their own role in life by overshadowing them with your own.

'It is important they learn to find their own way. It is not about us and ego has no place in our house. They are good, hard-working girls and we're really proud of them. They're growing up!'
