Tess Daly told she 'hasn't changed' as she shares incredibly sultry throwback snap after 'memories' admission

Tess Daly has been told she 'hasn't changed' as she took a trip down memory lane and shared one of many throwback snaps with her fans. The Strictly Come Dancing host appeared to have been looking through an old catalogue from her modelling portfolio after starting her career in the industry.

Tess, whose birth name is Helen, had a very lengthy career as a model before becoming a household name as a TV presenter. She was scouted at just 18 years old and undertook her first modelling job in Tokyo. After a series of work assignments across Asia and Europe while based in London, she also spent five years in Paris before she returned to London for six months, then moved to New York for work for five years.

In 1990, Tess also appeared in two Duran Duran videos for the songs 'Serious' and 'Violence of Summer (Love's Taking Over)' and appeared nude in the video for The Beloved's 1993 song "Sweet Harmony".

After a few red carpet interviews, in 2000, she sent a showreel to the producers of Channel 4's The Big Breakfast, who hired her to host the Find Me a Model competition. Since then, she has presented shows including Get Your Kit Off, Singled Out, Smash Hits TV, SMTV Live, Back To Reality and the first series of Make Me a Supermodel with Dave Berry before officially joining Strictly in 2004 with then co-host, the late Bruce Forsyth

Now, taking to Instagram this week, Tess stunned fans as she uploaded a beautiful snapshot from a shoot she did for Levi's. In the snap, the 53-year-old, from Stockport, could be seen rocking a chic short bob whilst dressed in dark slim-fit jeans and a sheer animal-print blouse.

She could be seen strutting through a market with a leather waistcoat completing her look as she gave a sultry look towards the camera. "One from the archives," Tess wrote in the caption of the post which was quickly flooded with comments.

Strictly co-host Claudia Winkleman responded with a series of red heart emojis while presenter Gabby Logan shared a love heart eyes emoji. @shirley_dmm commented: "Wow Tess! What a brilliant photo of you. Stunning shot. You have barely changed at all!!" @annamarieshellard echoed: "You haven't changed.

It comes after Tess was seen alongside her husband Vernon Kay as she said 'thanks for the memories'. The couple, who tied the knot in 2003 and celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary last year, revealed they've been soaking up the sun on an Easter break. The pair ditched the UK for the Caribbean with Vernon taking a break from his BBC Radio 2 show to enjoy the holiday with his wife with them reportedly staying Eden Roc Cap Cana Resort in the Dominican Republic. with current prices reportedly averaging at £1,300 per night.

In a new Instagram post, Tess shared photos of herself and Vernon living it up by the beach, before sadly admitting: "Paradise can wait now." She explained that the pair were now returning "back to the school runs and the radio", but thanked the hotel and Destinology Holidays "for the memories".
