Married TV presenter Vernon Kay has admitted he exchanged racy texts and Twitter messages with glamour model Rhian Sugden.

Kay's presenter wife Tess Daly, who gave birth to the couple's second daughter Amber last May, is expected to be furious by the revelation.

Page 3 blonde Sugden, 23, swapped details with Kay, 35, after meeting in a nightclub in his hometown of Bolton.

While Daly has been busy with the couple's two children Phoebe, five, and Amber, eight months, Kay has been enjoying flirty exchanges on Twitter, using the micro-blogging site's private messaging function.

Kay's spokesman admitted he had sent the text messages, but insisted: 'They never at any point had a physical sexual relationship.'

Sugden said: 'I met Vernon in a club in Bolton and we have exchanged a few racy texts.'

The text messages in question were shown to The Sun newspaper, who said they were too explicit to print.

A source close to the couple told the paper: 'This is the last thing Tess will want to hear.

'She is not one to hold back on dishing out a rollicking. It's fair to say this will go down like a lead balloon.

'Vernon has been sending inappropriate messages to Rhian and it's come back to bite him on the a**e.

'He's never had sex with her, but clearly sending a Page 3 girl sexually suggestive messages is not a wise thing to do.

'He feels pretty stupid about sending them to her now and is obviously worried what Tess is going to say.'

The racy messages are at odd with Kay's image as a clean-cut, family man, who hosts shows such as All Star Family Fortunes.

In an interview with the Mail's You magazine two years ago, Daly said she completely trusted her husband.

She said: 'He loves me; he loves our family. One would hope that that is what is important at the end of the day.

'And I trust him. I have to, because what's the alternative?

'You've got to believe in the bloke you're with, right? Or we'd both be unhappy.'

The revelations come just nine days before his wife of seven years releases a pregnancy book.

In the Strictly Come Dancing host's Baby Diaries, the 38-year-old model speaks about her hormonal experiences during her two pregnancies and admitted she felt 'alone and insecure' while Kay was away in the U.S working.

She wrote: 'I'd never been a particularly confrontational person, but now that my hormones were all over the place I felt totally erratic.

'I was sad one minute, deliriously happy the next.

'It felt like he was a world away. I felt quite alone and insecure. I think I just wanted my hubby back and for someone to make me a cup of tea and tell me to put my feet up.

'When he was back and we had an argument about something and nothing, I would throw cushions around the house in unwarranted fits of anger, and then feel ridiculous, as I had to pick them back up.'
