SKY NEWS' Kay Burley had to request her studio is kept permanently cool due to her "tricky" menopause symptoms.

Kay Burley, 61, is one of Britain’s best-known breakfast time broadcasters and has her own eponymous show on Sky News. But despite the nature of her job, she sometimes faces day to day struggles at the studio, including uncomfortable menopause symptoms.

Kay has spoken out on how the menopause affects her and how she mitigates the hot flushes it sometimes presents.

She candidly admitted last year that she had to request that the studio is set at a cooler temperature so that she does not sweat as much.

Kay explained: “The menopause is tricky. Especially for being on the telly.

“If I have a hot flush, the ladies need to come in during a break and try and sort my hair out.

“It looks like I've walked through the shower,” she added to The Times.

During an interview last month, Kay put Foreign Secretary Liz Truss on the spot over the Northern Ireland protocol row.

The journalist was questioning Liz over the British Government's handling of the Northern Ireland Protocol amid a row with the European Union over aspects of the Brexit treaty which govern trade rules between the EU common market and GB.

Kay pointed out a recent discussion from Boris Johnson's Government about handling the outstanding issues with the Protocol which have sparked anger from both the DUP and Brussels.
