Tess Daly and her husband Vernon Kay posed for a sweet selfie as they returned to where it all began at Television Centre in London on Wednesday. 

The TV presenter, 56, who met her husband, 51, in 2001 while working at the BBC, beamed as she cosied up to her man outside the iconic building, while he covered his newly short, greying locks with a black baseball cap.

Striking a smile for the camera, Tess looked radiant as she layered up for the outing in a chic grey zip-up jacket. 

Meanwhile, Vernon sported a matching grey bomber jacket as he beamed alongside his wife. 

Sharing the sweet snap to Instagram, Tess captioned the post: 'Back where it all began at television Centre. always brings back such lovely memories.' 

Tess and Vernon met when they were both working as up-and-coming presenters in separate shows on some of the country's biggest TV channels.

At the time, Vernon was a host on Channel 4's T4, and Tess presented SMTV on ITV on a Saturday morning.

The couple began dating shortly after meeting on T4, and went on to become one of TV's best-known couples.

Both Tess and Vernon's careers went from strength to strength, with the couple even presenting the BBC singing competition Just The Two Of Us together between 2006 and 2007. 

Tess previously told Digital Spy of their relationship: 'It was all quite immediate, really, because we instantly had such a blast together. 

'I couldn't imagine having more fun with anyone else. It was pretty explosive, I tell you.' 

She explained that a long-term relationship changes over time, saying: 'You keep the fire burning, you keep stoking that fire.'

Added that her husband has grown up in recent years, Tess said: 'I guess he is the same, but more mature. You know what men are like, they never really grow up, do they? Do they ever catch us up mentally? I don't think so.'

Two years after meeting, they tied the knot in 2003 at St Mary's Church in Horwich, Vernon's hometown.

The sweet couple post comes days after Vernon showcased his new look, embracing his greying hair following a trip to the barbers

According to Hello!, the couple hosted their reception at the nearby Rivington Hall Barn. 

Vernon said he was 'over the moon' at his low-key wedding, after the couple decided to ditch holding a high-profile celebrity bash. 

Instead, some carefully considered celebrity guests at the wedding included Big Brother winner Brian Dowling and T4 presenter June Sarpong. 

DJ Brandon Block was also on hand to provide entertainment at the reception party. 

Tess and Vernon have two children together, Phoebe Elizabeth, 21 and Amber Isabella Kay, 16. 

The couple gave birth to their first daughter, Phoebe, in 2004. Five years later, they welcomed their second daughter, Amber. 

Television personality Tess gushed in June that she and Vernon have a 'great relationship' with them.

She said: 'You just have to advise them and gently guide the way. It has to feel like they're reaching their own decisions in life.

'But they're needing more as they get older. They need more life advice, there seems to be more mental hand-holding. You never stop parenting. I don't know when that all-seeing eye ends.'
