The 'Strictly Come Dancing' host would love to "escape the British winters" and spend time with her sister who lives there as she misses her "terribly".
She said: "Every time we visit my sister Karen in New Zealand, I spend the next two months Googling properties and dreaming of escaping the British winter. It's summer over there, and it's gorgeous. I miss my sister terribly, because we're so close. I love the laid-back way of life. The people are friendly, the food's incredible, the climate's great, the landscape is beautiful."
And the 48-year-old television personality says her heart "breaks" every time her youngest daughter Amber, eight, asks to move there to be closer to her cousins.
Tess - who also has Phoebe, 13, with her husband Vernon Kay - added to the Daily Star newspaper: "My youngest is forever saying to me, 'Mummy, can we please move to New Zealand, because I just want to be near my cousins?' It breaks my heart. I grew up with my cousins so close by."
Meanwhile, Tess previously revealed she reminds her kids they're "100 per cent northern".
She said: "It's weird, they sound so posh when they talk. But I keep reminding them that they are actually 100 per cent northern! ... My accent was never an issue. Not for other people anyway. I did remember hearing my accent and wondering whether I should be less, let's say, colloquial."
