Vernon Kay Inheritance Tracks

    • Music

Star of TV and radio, Vernon Kay comes from a Northern working-class family. His first job, at 14, was putting stickers on boxes of bananas at a ripening factory…and he also worked as caretaker, deep cleaning schools before his break came as a model.
TV came next with stints on T4 and All-Star Family Fortunes and has recently taken over the mid-morning show on Radio 2.
Last November Vernon ran an Ultra Marathon for Radio 2’s BBC Children in Need fundraiser, 115 miles in just four days, and he raised over £6 million!!!
Married to fellow presenter Tess Daly, they have two daughters...so what’s the music he’ll choose to pass on to them?
Inherited: Allentown by Billy Joel
Passing on: You Got The Love by Candi Staton
Producer: Ben Mitchell
