Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly has said her 10-year marriage to fellow presenter Vernon Kay is "worth fighting" for.

It is the first time Daly has spoken on TV about her husband since he admitted sending explicit texts to five women.

Speaking on the BBC's One Show, Daly said: "It's been tough as you can imagine, but I've taken some time out to think things through."

Kay recently admitted on his radio show that he had been "foolish and selfish".

'So much support'

Without referring directly to the texts, the Radio 1 presenter said that he had "disappointed and let down a lot of people".

He added: "To my family and everybody else, I am very sorry."

Daly, 40, who married Kay in 2003, said: "At the end of the day we've had 10 great years together, we've got two beautiful kids and we both think that's worth fighting for.

"Dealing with it in private is difficult enough but dealing but with it in public is even harder.

"I've had so much support from everyone that I meet really, not just family and friends, that has really touched me a lot and has been amazing," she added.

Earlier this month the celebrity couple made their first official appearance together since the revelations when they attended a Prince's Trust award ceremony.
