of me started sobbing and it was that outpouring of grief that will stay in my mind forever.”
There are many young people who would like a career in journalism so I asked Kay what advice would she give them in this field which is notoriously difficult to get into. “My first advice is to be sure this is what you want to do. The media is not glamourous – it’s down and dirty hard work and you have to be prepared to put the hours into it. If like me you work for a 24-hour news channel, you have to be there before anyone else and are still there when everyone else has gone home. But keeping knocking on the door until someone opens it because they will - but you have to be committed enough.” Kay mentors a lot of young people and she always stresses to them the importance of this ‘commitment’ as if they’re not, they’ll be found out but if it’s really what they want to do, they will succeed.
Kay feels the tide is turning with regards to going to university, “Five years ago people wouldn’t have been employed without a degree but companies such as Sky are now wising up and realise that youngsters don’t necessarily have to have one and are offering apprenticeships and I am currently mentoring a young girl myself through the John Schofield Trust.”
Out of the limelight, Kay Burley’s guilty secret is The Cotswolds. She loves the area and has been looking for a house for years, nearly even buying in the region three times before. It was having friends who had properties on The Lakes By Yoo situated near Lechlade who invited her to visit that swung her decision. She said, “On driving in and seeing the lake on my left I thought this is it! I find an incredible inner peace here and though I have no plans to retire any day soon, this is

where I can escape, relax and come whenever I can; I’m able to entertain my friends here and my son uses the house with his too.
“Waking up with the tranquil water around me, I can completely switch off. Four days here is like a two-week holiday. I have written two novels and am currently working on my third and with the surrounding peace, it’s the ideal place to be able to write.”
Finally, I asked Kay what the future holds for her and she answered, “To be honest I don’t know! My parents died far too young, so I always live everyday like it’s my last, as one day it will be. I have seen a lot of death and a lot of happiness and obviously I prefer the latter.”
Kay has an innate love of politics and has been asked by both sides to stand as a prospective MP; a road I don’t think she will end up travelling but one thing that is pretty much for certain, we will still be seeing the highly glamorous, BAFTA award winning Kay Burley on our screens for many years to come.
