The TV host has been rocking a large diamond horseshoe ring on his finger as a sweet reminder of his love for Tess.

Vernon, who is a mega Elvis Presley fan, previously explained that his wife surprised him on their wedding anniversary with the chunky ring.

 back in 2010, he said: "The most romantic thing Tess has done for me was for our wedding anniversary.

"I'm a huge Elvis Presley fan and when he first signed his record deal he bought himself a pinky ring with a lucky horseshoe on it."

Vernon said the ring has a poignant meaning behind it and is a constant reminder of his wife.

He added: "I had a really bad fake copy of it from Graceland, but she took it to a Hatton Garden jeweller and had a white gold version made with real diamonds.

"It's quality! I couldn't believe it when she had it made. It only ever comes out on themed nights, though."

Vernon is not the only one who is sending beautiful messages to their family.
