Vernon Kay has "reconnected" with Tess Daly amid the coronavirus lockdown.

"When you think about it when you\'re in a relationship, a working relationship, you wake up, you go to work, you get back and you have your dinner, kids doing their homework, you go to bed."

Vernon also revealed that prior to the coronavirus lockdown, he might only see his family for four hours during a typical working day.

He told the \'Humans of XS Manchester\' podcast: "When you\'re in lockdown and you\'re spending 24/7 with each other, it really gives you the chance to really kind of reconnect and get to know each other better, not better ... but you really get under the skin of your relationships with your kids and your missus."
