Sky News presenter will stay off-air for rest of week after her birthday party broke government regulations
The Sky News presenter Kay Burley has been withdrawn from consideration for a prestigious TV award and will stay off-air for the rest of the week after hosting a birthday party that broke coronavirus regulations, the Guardian understands.
Burley, arguably the channel’s most high-profile presenter, was allegedly summoned to meet Sky’s HR team and did not present her usual breakfast slot on Tuesday after it emerged that she and a group of nine others went to two venues in Soho, London, to mark her 60th birthday. A smaller group reportedly returned to her home to continue the celebration.
