‘Teenagers don’t always want to talk to you, but even if you’re just physically there in the room with them… I’ll plonk myself there quietly in the corner.

‘You’ve got two little people who have become young adults. It’s amazing and constantly rewarding. I love being a mum – it’s my most important job.’

Tess continued by revealing how BBC Radio 2 host Vernon is the stricter parent between them both.

She explained: ‘Vernon is a great dad – he loves them to bits. I don’t know if there’s a good cop, bad cop, but maybe he’s a little stricter sometimes. But it’s for the greater good and we’re a good team.’

‘I’m proud of how down to earth they are. That’s what you want – kids who are kind and who have a good work ethic and respect people. You just try to mould good humans.’

When Phoebe was learning to drive, Tess admitted she tracked her on app as she worried about her safety while driving alone.
