Vernon Kay surprised his BBC Radio 2 co-host Scott Mills with a nostalgic revelation about how he first met his wife, Tess Daly. While reminiscing during the broadcast, Vernon shared that they met while recreating Britney Spears' 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' video for the 2000s music show Top of the Pops@play, with Tess dressed as Geri Halliwell and Vernon as Britney. Scott was astonished to learn he played a role in their meeting, having suggested they collaborate for the show. The couple, who have been married since 2003 and share two daughters, Phoebe and Amber, quickly developed their romance despite being from rival television networks. Their love story began in 2001 when both were emerging TV presenters. Scott's incredulous reaction underscored the unexpected connection behind their long-lasting relationship.
