It’s always a risk when TV presenters read out messages from viewers while live on-air.
Unfortunately for Kay Burley, her latest show on Sky News saw her receive a message containing an extremely rude remark… which she only realised after she’d said it aloud.
On Wednesday, the 62-year-old invited people watching the programme to send in their thoughts regarding the current headlines in the news.
Telling them to get in touch with her by tweeting her at her handle, @KayBurley, the broadcaster started sharing some of the comments that she’d received.
One person from Suffolk expressed their view that hybrid working is the ‘way forward’, while another asked if the pandemic is ‘officially over’, to which she replied that it is, according to the World Health Organisation, which declared Covid-19 an ‘established and ongoin health issue which no longer constistutes a public health emergency of international concern’.
She continued… which is when the segment went a little bit pear-shaped.
‘Who else? Peter Hodson. Do the staff shout “see you next Tuesday?”’ she said, reading his message.
Kay immediately cottoned onto what the viewer had done, stating: ‘That’s not funny, is it? It’s just not funny.
‘If you’ve been a fan of Sex and the City, you’ll know what that refers to.’
If you have no idea what Kay was talking about, the phrase ‘see you next Tuesday’ is a backronym for a swear word beginning with the letter ‘C’, with the word ‘see’ supposed to reflect the first letter of the word, followed by the remaining three letters.
We’ll just leave it at that.
At the weekend, Kay was part of the presenting team for Sky for the King’s Coronation, during which she spoke to Dame Joanna Lumley, a regular aquaintance of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
When asked how well she knew the royal couple, having previously clarified claims that they were ‘close friends’ Dame Joanna said that she knew them ‘well enough to stay with them’.
‘Well we’ve stayed with them in various places,’ the Absolutely Fabulous star explained.
‘And it’s so normal and so friendly but so unbelievably welcoming and generous. Utterly thrilling.
‘At Sandringham, your car is taken away but by the time it’s brought back to you at the end of your trip or visit it’s full of petrol and it has been cleaned.’

In response, several viewers criticised the notion of celebrities being given free perks, with one tweeting: ‘To those that have, shall more be given. To those that have not… pay for it.’
