First up, she's going to sleep. I'm talking the kind of sleep that involves a duvet, a pillow fort, and a strict “do not disturb” sign. She's earned it. After all, she's been holding the show together with a smile and a microphone for years.
But knowing Tess, the woman can't sit still for long. She's too efficient. Too peppy. She probably alphabetizes her spice rack on a Tuesday for fun. So, what's next? She's not just going to vanish into a puff of glitter dust, right?

Let's be honest, the BBC aren't idiots. They know a gem when they see one. They're probably already drawing up a mind map of shows for her. Could we see her fronting a new panel show? “Tess Daly's Epic Quiz” has a ring to it, doesn't it? Or maybe she'll replace Graham Norton for a week, just to scare everyone.
And don't forget the podcast boom. Can you imagine Tess and Claudia doing a weekly chat show? Just two friends gossiping about sequins and lift passes. I'd listen to that religiously. It would be like having a cup of tea with your funniest mates, but with better hair.
But here's a wild card. What about acting? I know, I know, it sounds mad. But Tess has that “girl next door” charm. She could play a villain in a soap opera. Imagine Tess Daly on EastEnders, knitting a jumper while plotting someone's downfall. I'd watch that episode on repeat.
