Model Rhian Sugden apologises to Tess Daly

Model Rhian Sugden apologised television to presenter Vernon Kay's wife Tess Daly for getting involved with Kay.

Feeling regretful over the flirty relationship with Kay, Rhian wrote an open apology letter to Daly, reports thesun.co.uk.

Back in 2010, Kay was exposed for texting Rhian behind wife Tess's back; while it was revealed in 2016 that they had been in contact again.

Rhian said: "I deeply regret creating a friendship with Vernon and allowing him to continue speaking to me the way he did."

Kay used to send hundreds of flirty texts to Rhian, and repeatedly tired to arrange secret meetings with her.

"I should never have got involved with a married man. As time has passed I regret not being wise enough or strong enough to deal with my own issues and insecurities myself. The exchange of messages was inappropriate and I should not have encouraged such behaviour," the model added.

Rhian is now planning her wedding to actor Oliver ­Mellor.
