Tess Daly's tears over dad's death after health battle - with sad Strictly twist


Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly has previously opened up about the death of her father Vivian after he sadly passed away shortly after her wedding in 2003

In an interview back in 2010, the TV presenter opened up about her parents Sylvia and Vivian, admitting that her father’s death seven years prior had been “so difficult” as she navigated her grief.
