Vern ventured out in public with his wife for the first time since admitting to fingering smutty messages to five different girls a few weeks back. Tess quite rightly assumed there would be a slim chance of him getting booed at this event given it was an outing to the Prince's "Trust" Awards. Let's face it, he's in good company with Charles. True, it was before the time of textual trysts, but Charles knew how to work a phone all the same *waggles ample eyebrows at Camilla*

There's no other story apart from that, really. We'll let the pictures do the talking. The eyes say it all. However, if you'd prefer some words on the matter, thankfully for you there's been the usual reliable "sources" bleating to The Sun.

One said: "It was tough for Tess after what Vern did to her, but she has decided to make a go of things. This was the first step in trying to regain some normality in their lives."

While another said: "They had virtually no eye contact, gestures of affection or off-the-cuff banter. It seemed to be a case of sticking to the script."

Where would those celebrities be without their trusty scripts, eh?
