For the celebratory occasion, Tess, 53, slipped into a chic black cotton dress featuring a cold shoulder design and gorgeous long sleeves.
The much-loved presenter elevated her birthday look with a pair of glitzy hoop earrings, stacks of rings and a sleeky, glossy manicure. As for hair and makeup. Tess experimented with a high ponytail, defined brows, bronzed cheeks and a pink lip.

And unsurprisingly, Tess's husband Vernon Kay was amongst the first to congratulate the Strictly host. Over on his Instagram Stories, the Radio 2 host posted a photo of his wife's book cover, along with the caption: "Book launch day!! Yeeeehaaaa!!"
Bursting with pride, Vernon also included a GIF which read: "Proud of you," in large swirly writing. It's been a period of huge change for the happy couple who are doting parents to daughters Phoebe, 18, and Amber, 13.
The radio host celebrated a new milestone
Back in February, Vernon landed himself a new gig on Radio 2's mid-morning show, replacing radio legend Ken Bruce. Vernon's broadcasting career has been going from strength to strength in recent years, following a number of impressive stints at the likes of Radio X and Radio 1.

In his official statement, Vernon shared: "I'm absolutely over the moon to be handed the microphone to present the mid-morning show on Radio 2, and what an honour to follow in the footsteps of the mighty Ken Bruce.
"I look forward to playing some of the best music in the world whilst in the company of the Radio 2 listeners who I feel I've got to know over the last 18 months. It's a dream come true to join the Radio 2 family and I can't wait to start."
