TV icon Kay Burley has officially signed off from Sky News after 36 years, but her final days on air didn’t quite go as planned. Just before her big exit, the 64-year-old was hit with a nasty allergic reaction that forced her to pull out of presenting. She missed a broadcast and later posted a raw, no-makeup selfie on Instagram to show her 54,000 followers just how bad it got, reports the Express.
In the photo, Kay’s face looked visibly swollen and puffy, with the caption: “When allergies prevent you from being on the TV. Sorry to have missed you all today.” No word yet on what triggered the reaction, but fans were quick to send their well wishes.
