Vernon Kay takes cheeky swipe at wife Tess Daly live on stage as he returns to panto

VERNON Kay took a series of cheeky swipes at his wife Tess Daly as he took to the stage for panto this weekend.

The Radio 2 DJ, 50,  is currently playing Aladdin’s brother alongside Drag Race star La Voix in the production, and made sure the Strictly host wasn’t forgotten.

At one point he joked that that Tess was ‘always moaning about wet towels on the floor’ and during another part, he told La Voix she looked just like his wife.

It’s the first time Vernon has returned to the stage since his panto debut in 2022, which led to him winning Best Panto Newcomer at the UK Pantomime Awards.

Vernon kicked off panto this weekend in High Wycombe, near where he lives with wife Tess and their two daughters.

Tess has been very busy with the final of Strictly Come Dancing, which she hosts alongside Claudia Winkleman.

Vernon recently admitted that doing panto played havoc with his festive plans, telling roundandabout.co.uk: “Well Christmas kind of goes on hold with pantomime because you only get Christmas Day off.

“Two years ago I spent all afternoon in bed because I was so tired. I love Christmas dinner, though, so I won’t be missing that! No, I won’t be getting a takeaway instead, we’ll just do the prep the night before.

“So, if we get a chance, I’ll be peeling spuds and carrots when I get back, to have it all ready for Christmas Day. But we do go all in: the whole shebang – we really enjoy Christmas, it’s good fun.”

Aladdin at Wycombe Swan runs until Sun 5th January 2025

Why isn’t darts legend Phil Taylor playing at the World Darts Championships 2024?

TAYLOR'S LITTLER CHAT

PHIL TAYLOR is one of dart’s greatest ever players but looks to take on a new role heading into 2025.

Taylor, 64, has won more darts titles than any other player through his professional career.

With 16 World Matchplay titles, 11 World Grand Prix titles and 14 World Championships to his name between 1995 and 2012, and an overall tournament win count of 214, The Power has been dominant.

Phil Taylor’s injury troubles

Taylor was due to compete at the World Seniors Masters, scheduled to start on November 8, but medical complications forced him to withdraw.

Taylor has been struggling with a hip injury and was forced to have hip replacement surgery.

His surgery went well and was making a positive impact, but further damage began causing Taylor immense pain.

Taylor said: “Everything was going fine, but then I just did a little too much and apparently I’ve torn my scar tissue.

“So yeah, it’s a bit painful.

“It’s been the worst pain I’ve ever had these last twelve months. Honestly, I’ll be glad when this year is gone.

“Practicing, I’ve been okay, but when you’ve been playing for a few hours there’s this really bad pain in the hip. It’s like having toothache and it drives me crazy, it really does.”

Has Phil Taylor retired from darts?

The Power initially retired in 2018 after falling from the top bracket of competition, struggling to compete with likes of Michael van Gerwen, Luke Humphries – and now, Luke Littler.

Returning for the senior series in 2022, Taylor had hoped to bring an end to his career by winning the World Seniors Masters.

With injuries keeping him out and his body failing to keep up with his mind, Phil Taylor has officially confirmed his retirement from darts.

That means he will NOT be competing at the World Darts Championships, which will start on December 15.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Taylor said: “I’m retired now, properly retired. I’m just going to do some personal appearances like yourself [Ally McCoist].

“How do I know? My eyes started going a few years ago then my hip went and then the travelling. You’re away from home four-five days a week and it’s good for money but it’s not good for your family.

“My mind is still in my teens but my body is 90.

“How did I keep going? If I won a players championship that paid for the food bills. Every tournament was about paying the bills.

“Has there been a better marketed sport in last decade? They (the fans) don’t just have a little bit of fun, they have a lot of fun. It’s fantastic.”

What is Phil Taylor’s new role?

Despite retiring, The Power isn’t completely done with darts and is eager to return to screens in a commentary role.

Taylor also addressed rumours that he was due to appear on I’m A Celeb.

He said: “I’d be interested but not this year, it’s too late.

“Someone mentioned I was the favourite in the bookies but I said ‘I have no idea how’.”

Brave Davina McCall reveals bold new look as she joins Maya Jama on revamped The Masked Singer panel

DAVINA McCall is back in the pink for the new series of The Masked Singer following her shock brain tumour operation.

The presenter wore a blonde bobbed wig and a vivid animal-print outfit in a photoshoot for the shows — filmed before her worrying health revelation.

Davina also posed alongside new panellist Maya Jama.

Hiding her brunette locks under a wig is part of a constant experiment with different looks for the hit show, where the panel has to guess which celebs are singing in costumes.

A pal said: “Davina always likes to shake things up every series, if not every episode of The Masked Singer — and that goes beyond her clothes.

“She wore the wig in the photoshoot which took place earlier this year, which was months before she was diagnosed with the tumour.

“The two things are entirely coincidental and not in any way related.

“The blonde look isn’t a permanent one either, she’ll be changing it up throughout the series.”

Davina, 57, has previously worn others from a firm called Amber Jean — set up by artist Amber Jean Rowan, who has alopecia.

The company is also the choice of celebrities including Strictly pro Amy Dowden, who lost her hair while having cancer treatment.

Davina revealed last month she had a rare colloid cyst.

In a video after successful surgery she told fans: “I’m doing so well now.”

Maya replaces Rita Ora on the panel alongside Davina, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and host Joel Dommett.

The new series starts on January 4 at 7pm.
