Vernon Kay talks 'rows' at home with wife Tess Daly after 'bonkers' family moment

BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay shared a funny moment at home which often resulted in "a ruckus or two".

Speaking to his co-star Richie Anderson on-air, the 50-year-old reminisced over a time when his daughters used to re-enact the moment Simba was baptised in The Lion King.

He shared on the airwaves: "We went through a stage in our house where, whenever we had ketchup on the table, one of the kids would put ketchup on their finger and then they'd walk past you and do that thing on your forehead and go 'Simba' because we're wacky, crazy, bonkers like that.

"Ketchup everywhere, [it] caused a ruckus or two but it's very, very, funny. The kids would do it in the James Earl Jones voice, god bless him."

Since joining the station last year, the presenter has told many tales about his family life with wife, Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly, and their two daughters; Phoebe, 20, and Amber, 14.

During the same show, he opened up about his "cruel to be kind" parenting method after a listener celebrated her two-year-old finally sleeping in her own bed.

In response, he said: "Jess, I know exactly how you feel, you've got to be cruel to be kind.

"You've got to try and ignore them, if they've got full bellies, then they're alright.

"It worked for Amber, Phoebe was a nightmare, yeah couldn't sleep a wink so then we were cruel with Amber and now she sleeps standing up."

Proud dad Vernon was recently joined by the pair's eldest daughter for their first interview together.

During their chat with The Sun, Phoebe confessed that she doesn't tell anybody who her famous parents are and was previously oblivious to their fame.

Tess and Vernon had kept their daughters out of the public eye up until Vernon's stint on I'm A
