Tess Daly’s Strictly exit could help ‘inexperienced’ husband Vernon Kay with career move
The Mirror
Speaking of what the future might hold for Tess, a PR expert said her career can now be a “blank canvas”. Mark Borkowski told the Mirror: “Tess has the advantage of a blank canvas.
“Her exit timing feels deliberate – just when Strictly starts to show its age. If she plays it right, this is her Madonna reinvention phase: same warmth, new edge.
“The US rumours make sense – she has the polish and credibility to slip into glossy network formats or daytime franchises without breaking stride.”
Mark said the decision by Tess and her Strictly co-host Claudia Winkleman to leave the show was a “masterclass”. He added: “Tess and Claudia read the room.
“They didn’t wait for the format to fail them. They left with rhythm intact, brands unsmudged, dignity trending. The rest of us should take note: if you’re still dancing on a creaking floor, it might be time to change the music.”
