I miss Kay Burley. My opening monologues just haven’t been the same since the irrepressible Ginger Ninja was put on gardening leave by her bosses at SKY News. Back in December, Kay was told to go home and to stay home for six months, after she broke lockdown rules on her 60th birthday. If you can’t go on the razz to celebrate yer 60th when can you go on the razz eh?
Kay might have gotten away with it, were it not for her previous heckling of ministers on her show. When their colleagues had themselves broken the rules, Kay went Pete Tong on them. Outraged she was. So she got the boot. I cried for three days solid, pulled myself together and gave myself a severe talking to. 
Then I broke down again, when I realised that Kay would be replaced by Niall Paterson. Tis like trading in yer Mercedes S-600 for an Austin Allegra. Not good. Paterson is well…shite, not to put too fine a point on it.
My heart leapt this morning, to see Kay’s virtuous visage gracing the pages of The Mail Online. She has been spotted handing out food at London’s Community Kitchen, which provides vital support for homeless and vulnerable folks. Good for her. It doesn’t appear to be a photo-op. The kitchen’s organisers were filming a video to put on social media and Kay was spotted. Cynic’s will claim that Kay is attempting to build herself back better, ahead of her return to SKY in the Spring, but I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt.
I’ve scoured the interweb for a Kay calendar, so I can cross off the days ahead of her return, but no such calendar exists. SKY is missing a trick there. In the meantime then, I’ll make do with the memories. Fabulous.
