My favourite Kay Burley moment

I’m currently in Dublin on business so I’ll make this brief.

Sky News’ presenter Kay Burley yesterday announced, on air, that she was stepping down after 36 years.

Burley is a Marmite figure to many viewers but I like her. She grew on me when she appeared in an episode of The Kumars in 2014 (the Sky version not the original BBC show broadcast a decade or so earlier).

It demonstrated that she had a good sense of humour and didn’t take herself too seriously.

My favourite Kay Burley moment however is due largely to the former Brexit and Conservative Party MEP Lucy Harris whose wonderfully arch response to Burley’s questions (including “Which way do you think I voted?”) still makes me laugh.
