She attended Hayfield Primary School and New Mills Secondary School, where she gained 9 O Levels. She has a younger sister, Karen.
Career
Modelling

She then returned to London for six months, before moving to New York for work for five years.[4] In 1990, Daly appeared in two Duran Duran videos for the songs "Serious" and "Violence of Summer (Love's Taking Over)", both from the album Liberty. She also appeared in the video for The Beloved's 1993 song "Sweet Harmony".[5]
She was later the face of lingerie company La Senza in the UK and appeared in their Steal the Show Christmas 2009 campaign.[6]
Television
While living on the Lower East Side, a friend who arranged red carpet events suggested that she interview the celebrities who attended the events. After buying a video camera, Daly's first interview was with New York-based Quentin Crisp, author of The Naked Civil Servant, who became a lifelong friend until his death.[4] After a few red carpet interviews, in 2000, she sent a show reel to the producers of Channel 4's The Big Breakfast,[4] who immediately contracted her to host the Find Me a Model competition. Since then, she has presented shows including Get Your Kit Off, Singled Out, Smash Hits TV, SMTV Live, Back To Reality and the first series of Make Me a Supermodel with Dave Berry.
Daly is a co-presenter of BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing with Claudia Winkleman since 2004. Previously, she co-hosted the programme with Bruce Forsyth. Daly missed a couple of episodes in the second series because she was pregnant with her first daughter. Natasha Kaplinsky took her place for these episodes. Daly was joined for the eighth series result shows of Strictly Come Dancing by Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two presenter Claudia Winkleman while Bruce Forsyth took a break, with Daly filling Forsyth's role as main presenter and Winkleman filling Daly's role as co-presenter.
