A “This Morning” presenter’s comments regarding her departure from Sky News have been addressed by Kay Burley.
Kay, who left Sky News after more than three decades, addressed the remarks during a recent interview. In an online news article in Camilla Tominey, a regular guest on This Morning for news discussions, remarked that “some might say good riddance” and compared her resilience to that of her facelift.
After Kaye announced that she would be taking some time off from her work commitments to pursue her other passions, the pair have since become embroiled in a contentious social media row. Reacting to Camilla, Kay took to social media and wrote: ‘ #Sweetie @CamillaTominey as the late, great Madeleine Albright said, there is a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women. ‘
Part of Camilla’s article read: “Some may say good riddance but like her or loathe ‘ Hurley Burley’, you can’t fault the 64-year-old’s staying power. As resilient as her facelift, part of Burley’s appeal was her imperviousness to criticism. TV’s answer to Liz Truss, she let every gaffe wash over her like lettuce in a salad spinner”, she wrote for The Telegraph.
Kay, who was a regular on the broadcaster’s breakfast program on weekdays from 7am until 10am, announced earlier this week while on air, and explained that this would be her last show.
It has been a privilege to work with some of the best and most difficult working teams in the industry, Kay said. “From a standing start, one of the most respected and valued brands in global news. It has been a privilege and honor to work with some of the best and most difficult working teams in the industry from a standing start to one of the most admired and valued brands in global news.
“But we’ve also had some wonderful high notes, too,” they say, “including the excitement of hosting the 2012 Olympics, numerous royal weddings, jubilees, and who can forget the long lines and days that royal babies have to pass through the Lindo Wing?”
“But after more than a million live TV minutes, I’ve got time to indulge in some of my other passions, including my love for traveling,” the article states. Let politicians of all parties rejoice at the news that I am retiring from Sky News after covering 12 separate general elections, including Sir Keir Starmer’s victory last year!
Thank you for every morning morning tuning in. I can’t tell you how much I have appreciated your support over the last three and a half decades: You’re awesome. I’m hoping to see you around on my social media. Please keep in touch. “
