KAY Burley has denied claims she is leaving Sky News after huge speculation.
The 64-year-old first joined the news channel 35 years ago and has since gone on to become one of the broadcaster's highest-profile news anchors.
The TV host moved to the breakfast slot in October 2019, taking over from Sunrise host Sarah-Jane Mee.
Deadline had reported she was expected to step down from her role, with an announcement expected this week at some stage.
But she has now told MailOnline the rumours are not true.
She said: "I don't know where that comes from, but neither of them are true. I am off on the 19th [as] planned and then I am back on January 16."
When asked about reports that she was leaving her breakfast show, she added: "Not that I'm aware of, unless you are telling me something new."
She said: "I am getting up at half past three in the morning ... I'm back after I have been away to the Seychelles."
Burley was involved in the reporting of Princess Diana’s death in 1997 and broke news of the 9/11 attacks on New York in 2001 that won Sky News its first Bafta.
But her career has not been without controversy. In 2008, she was criticised for asking the former girlfriend of serial killer Steve Wright if she thought he would have killed had their sex life been better.
The channel was also forced to say that comments Burley made about Palestinian ambassador Husam Zomlot gave a “potentially misleading representation of his views”.
