Kay Burley dismisses "relaxed" protester

Kay Burley has brushed aside a live TV incident earlier this year when a protester called for her to be fired.

The man disrupted Burley's links and repeatedly chanted: "Sack Kay Burley. Watch the BBC. Sky News is s**t.". The presenter was eventually forced to abandon an interview.

Quizzed about the incident, Burley told Metro: "Let's not get carried away. There was one person who had been out and about during the day and was very relaxed and thought he'd have his 15 minutes of fame and the internet has given it to him."

Asked if she really did say that "the entire eastern seaboard of the United States has been decimated by a terrorist attack" during Sky News's coverage on September 11, 2001, Burley added: "Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia, it also said I breastfed live on air.

"I don't know if I said it or not but if I did, I'm sure people took it into account when they gave us our BAFTA."

Regarding her interview with Peter Andre, which caused the singer to break down in tears, Burley said: "I think we were both surprised that a grown man cried, especially when he was aware of the questions I was going to ask him. He was overwhelmed by the moment. "
