Kay Burley joins This Morning after bitter feud with another star of the show
KAY Burley made her This Morning debut this week - stepping into a segment regularly fronted by Camilla Tominey. The veteran broadcaster made her debut on the ITV sofa just weeks after a public spat with regular contributor Camilla - and appeared to step directly into her territory. 4 Kay Burley has made her debut on ITV's This Morning 4 She sat besied Gyles Brandreth to discuss the day's news 4 She had a public spat with This Morning contributor Camilla Tominey earlier this year Credit: Rex Kay appeared alongside Gyles Brandreth to discuss the day's news, including the Princess of Wales pulling out of Royal Ascot yesterday — a subject closely associated with Royal correspondent Camilla. Taking the lead on the topic, Kay said: 'The point I'm trying to make is the conspiracy theorists will be asking, well why is she not there, where is she?' Camilla is This Morning's royal expert and appeared on the ITV daytime show on Monday. The appearance follows a blistering column by Camilla, who described Kay as 'TV's answer to Liz Truss' in the wake of her departure from Sky News. She added: 'Some may say good riddance' and called her 'as resilient as her facelift.' Kay, 64, hit back, accusing Camilla of misogyny and writing on X: '#Sweetie @CamillaTominey as the late, great Madeleine Albright said, there is a special place in hell for women who don't support other women.' While tensions between the two broadcasters simmered, others in the industry rushed to support Kay's legacy. Susanna Reid called her 'a powerful interviewer and a supporter of women in television,' while Victoria Derbyshire said she had 'blazed an absolute trail.' Kay joined Sky News as a founding presenter in 1989 and left earlier this year after 36 years on air. She had been the face of Sky News for major world events, such as the death of Princess Diana, the births of the Royal babies and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Kay Burley, 64, retires from Sky News after 36 years and says 'it's time for me to indulge in other passions'- As well as hosting live TV, Kay published her debut novel, First Ladies in 2011, which was followed by her second book Betrayal in 2012. The anchor's career first started in BBC local radio and Tyne Tees Television. She then joined ITV's TV-am in 1985 as a reporter and occasional newsreader. Kay shares her only child - who's real name is Alexander - with her ex-husband, Steve Kutner. Before leaving Sky News in February, Kay had hosted the 24-hour rolling news channel's breakfast programme for the last five years, moving from her afternoon slot in 2019. Leaving Sky News, she said: "From a standing start to one of the most recognised and valued brands in global news, it's been an honour and privilege to work with some of the best and hardest working teams in the business. "News by its very nature is often devastating and together we've covered so many life-changing events - from the tragic death of Diana, the shocking terror attack of 9/11; the Asian Tsunami; the Concorde air disaster. "But we've also enjoyed some wonderful high notes too, haven't we - the thrill of London winning the chance to host the 2012 Olympics; a plethora of royal weddings; jubilees and who can forget days and days and DAYS waiting for royal babies to arrive at the Lindo Wing. "But after over a million minutes of live TV news - more than anyone else in the world - its time for me to indulge in some of my other passions - including my love for travel. "So, after covering 12 separate general elections - including Sir Keir Starmer's victory last year - I am retiring from Sky News - let politicians of every party just rejoice at that news! "Thank you for waking up and tuning in every morning. I can't tell you how much I have appreciated your support over the last three and a half decades: You're awesome. "I will post more on my social media and hope to see you around. Please keep in touch." Sky bosses took Kay off air for six months in 2020 after her birthday bash flouted Coronavirus lockdown rules at the time with the anchor apologising for the "error of judgement".

Exclusive: Kkusum Star Nausheen Ali Sardar Opens Up On Her Show Vasudha, And OTT Debut On Her Bucket List
Nausheen Ali Sardar made her sensational debut with Kkusum - a Balaji Telefilm's backed Ekta Kapoor's show. She made her Bollywood debut in 2009 with Three: Love, Lies, Betrayal. She is now seen in Vasudha where she plays Chandrika Singh Chauhan — a woman both revered and feared. As Chandrika, an incredibly layered and powerful character, Nausheen shares insights on her journey with Vasudha, the evolution of Indian television, and her personal growth as an actor. Q. Kkusum made you a household name in the early 2000s. What has changed since then in the TV industry? Television has grown and changed in so many ways. There's an influx of passionate new talent, and the storytelling has become more diverse and layered. The pace is quicker, the expectations higher, and the style of working is constantly evolving. What hasn't changed, though, is the deep emotional connection that Indian television creates—especially through stories centred around strong, resilient women. These narratives have a timeless quality. As someone who's seen the industry inside-out, I believe the medium remains incredibly powerful when driven by heart and intention. I'm optimistic about where it's headed and hopeful we continue to improve both on-screen and behind the scenes. Q. What do you find more satisfying today - TV, Films or OTT? I've had the privilege of working across television and films and also explored the OTT space with a special appearance in a Balaji show. It was a unique experience—one that truly pushed me out of my comfort zone, as for the first time in my career, I was asked to use abusive language. I do not abuse in real life either, so it was genuinely challenging—both as an actor and as a person. Believe it or not, I struggled through nearly 50 takes and still couldn't bring myself to say it. It's just not who I am. That was one of those moments that really tested my boundaries. That said, I admire the kind of powerful storytelling that has been emerging on OTT platforms. There is so much creative freedom and depth, and I would love to be part of a meaningful project in that space someday. It is definitely on my bucket list. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zee TV (@zeetv) Q. You also featured in music videos earlier but not anymore. Is it deliberate? I have enjoyed being part of music videos in the past—they were creatively refreshing and allowed me to explore a different side of performance. But at the moment, my schedule with Vasudha keeps me completely occupied. That said, I am always open to exciting opportunities when the timing is right, and the project feels creatively fulfilling. Q. What's keeping you busy these days? Tell us more about your experience working on Vasudha? Vasudha has me completely immersed right now! With episodes airing seven days a week and each one running 36 to 38 minutes, the schedule is intense—but also incredibly rewarding. When you're part of a project you truly believe in, it's all worth it. The team is fantastic, the energy on set is always upbeat, and we're all working together to create something meaningful. My days are quite packed, and even on the rare day off, I focus on recharging. I'm a huge movie buff and a total movie enthusiast—there's hardly a night that goes by without me watching something. My evenings now are all about grounding rituals—spending time with my family, cuddling with my pets, and winding down for some much-needed rest. It's a different pace, but one I have come to cherish. Q5. Any upcoming projects you wanna talk about? At the moment, I'm fully focused on Vasudha. I do receive offers for other television projects, but I've always preferred to commit to one project at a time, especially with daily soaps. Unless it's a cameo or something in the fantasy or historical genre, I usually don't take on additional roles while actively working on a show. I have never believed in spreading myself too thin or trying to balance two full-time roles. For me, it's always been about quality over quantity—about immersing myself completely in the character I am portraying. Right now, I'm thoroughly enjoying my journey with Vasudha, and I want to give it everything I've got. I truly believe in sincerity, focus, and doing complete justice to every role I take on.
