Kay Burley has announced her latest move after quitting Sky News for “new adventures”.

The seasoned broadcaster, 64, concluded the final episode of her Sky News Breakfast programme on February 5, marking a significant milestone in her illustrious career.

In a heartfelt farewell, she shared her plans for the future, expressing her desire to “indulge in other passions” beyond her on-screen commitments.

As she embarks on her new adventures abroad, Kay celebrated at the airport with a glass of Prosecco, symbolizing the start of this exciting chapter in her life.

She snapped a photo of her bubbly drink alongside her passport and plane ticket, sharing the moment with her followers. In her caption, she cheerfully stated, “Thanks @british_airways. See you in Africa everyone,” indicating her upcoming journey.

Fans quickly flooded her post with warm wishes and encouragement.

One enthusiastic supporter commented: “Have an amazing time.”

While another wrote: “Enjoy every minute, Kay. Looking forward to all your updates x.”

A third fan chimed in, saying: “Enjoy! Cheers, Kay.”

One then confessed: “We miss you.”

She followed with a video of a leopard climbing a tree and added: “Off to my beloved Africa. Stay tuned if you’d like to see daily videos of life in the African Bush.”

Kay previously jetted off to South Africa in 2020 before her Sky News exit came in an unexpected statement at the end of one of her shows last week.

She said: “From a standing start to one of the most recognised and valued brands in global news, it’s been an honour and privilege to work with some of the best and hardest working teams in the business. News by its very nature is often devastating and together we’ve covered so many life-changing events – from the tragic death of Diana, the shocking terror attack of 9/11; the Asian Tsunami; the Concorde air disaster.

“But we’ve also enjoyed some wonderful high notes too, haven’t we – the thrill of London winning the chance to host the 2012 Olympics; a plethora of royal weddings; jubilees and who can forget days and days and DAYS waiting for royal babies to arrive at the Lindo Wing.

“But after over a million minutes of live TV news – more than anyone else in the world – its time for me to indulge in some of my other passions – including my love for travel.

“So, after covering 12 separate general elections – including Sir Keir Starmer‘s victory last year – I am retiring from Sky News – let politicians of every party just rejoice at that news!

“Thank you for waking up and tuning in every morning. I can’t tell you how much I have appreciated your support over the last three and a half decades: You’re awesome.”
