Models turned TV presenters Tess Daly and Vernon Kay have announced they are separating after 22 years of marriage.

Like with most marriages, the couple enjoyed their ups and downs, many of which were captured by the Press Association's photographers over the years.

Here we take a look back at Tess and Vernon's relationship in pictures.

2001

It is perhaps not surprising that Tess and Vernon started dating. Both attractive former models from the North West of England who carved out careers for themselves as television presenters, the couple had plenty in common.

They certainly appeared to be enjoying themselves in the early 2000s, making appearances at the NME Carling Awards and the UK Gala Premiere of Pearl Harbour.

2003

The couple tied the knot in 2003. Despite both being famous faces, they shunned offers of six-figure deals with glossy celebrity magazines for exclusive photographs of their wedding.

The pair, both dressed in white, instead posed for fans' photographs outside St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, in Horwich, near Kay's home town of Bolton.

The newlyweds were subsequently photographed in the stands enjoying a football match between Bolton Wanderers and Middlesbrough at the Reebok Stadium.

2004

Tess was pregnant with the couple's first child, Phoebe, in 2004 as she continued to attend glitzy events with her husband.

2007

The couple began rubbing shoulders with royalty and started what would become a long-term relationship with The Prince's Trust.

2008

More charity work followed for the celebrity duo.
