Vernon Kay attended the Wimbledon men’s final alongside his daughter Phoebe on Sunday at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south-west London.

The TV alum, 50, who shares the 19-year-old with presenter Tess Daly, smiled as he proudly posed with his daughter before heading inside to enjoy the last day of the annual sports event.

Phoebe looked lovely in a strappy white mini dress, adding white leather-trimmed PVC mules and accessorising with a multi-print shoulder bag.

The father-and-daughter duo looked in jovial spirits before proceeding to the star-studded centre court to watch a gruelling match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

Phoebe is the eldest of the couple’s two children and along with sister Amber, 14, has enjoyed a childhood out of the spotlight

Yet since turning 18 last year she has started creeping into the public eye, making her red carpet debut alongside her father at the John Wick Chapter 4 premiere last March. 

Vernon previously revealed that he and Tess insist his children don’t live off their fame and must form ‘their own careers.’

It’s an important factor for the celebrity duo, who both fell into fame after being scouted as models and then turning to television.

Speaking to MailOnline in 2022, Vernon said he and his wife believe it’s important for their offspring ‘to find themselves’ and not be given their ‘life on a plate’, crediting the pair’s Northern backgrounds for shaping their parenting beliefs.

Vernon said: ‘We let them be independent when it comes to them and their futures because it’s important that you allow them to find themselves, which is character building and personality development.

‘Sometimes I think that the old silver spoon and life on a plate in front of them… I think that’s quite contradictory to how you want them to be.

‘Tess and I grew up in hearty, wholesome Northern families and that’s a huge trait that helped us in our personal development and I think that’s really important.’

The stars were out in force on Sunday as they descended upon SW19 for the final day of the star-studded Wimbledon Tennis Championships. 

The Hollywood glitterati were spotted arriving to watch the seven-time champion Djokovic take on reigning champion Alcaraz in a re-run of their thrilling five-set clash last year. 

Benedict Cumberbatch wore a blue suit while wife Sophie Hunter stunned in an eye-catching yellow dress as they arrived hand-in-hand.

Meanwhile, Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton were dressed in Ralph Lauren as they made a rare public appearance together on day 14 of the competition. 

Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, 71, looked dapper in a navy suit and tie, while completing the look with shiny brown shoes and shades. 

Meanwhile, Andrew Garfield, 40, looked smart in a navy jacket and orange shirt, teamed with cream trousers.
