So, what’s Tess Daly doing now in 2026? She’s doing it all—but on her own terms. She’s less about chasing fame and more about enjoying the ride. She’s booked for the next two Strictly series, the cookbook is underway, and she’s planning a small wellness retreat in Ibiza for next summer. Yes, she’ll be leading a morning yoga class. Yes, I’m already saving up.
The irony? She’s busier than ever, but she looks more relaxed than when she was just a TV presenter. The secret, she says, is simple: “I stopped trying to be everyone’s idea of perfect. I’m just Tess.” And honestly, that’s the best version of her yet. So next time you see her on the Strictly sofa, remember: behind that sequined dress is a woman who kneads dough, forgets pickups, and is having the time of her life. And I, for one, am here for it.
