Kay Burley, the face of Sky News known for her tenacious interviewing but also some high-profile gaffes, has announced her retirement. The veteran broadcaster, who has been with Sky News since it began in 1989, bowed out after hosting her last breakfast programme on Wednesday morning. Burley, 64, told viewers: ‘After covering 12 separate general elections – including Sir Keir Starmer’s victory last year – I am retiring from Sky News. I let politicians of every party just rejoice at that news!’
