Kay Burley has confirmed that she has had plastic surgery, telling colleagues that "it's not a secret".

The Sky News presenter reportedly marked her 50th birthday by going under the knife. A report in The Mirror claimed that the 'subtle' work had seen some "tightening along the jawline to redefine it".

"Mother Nature needed a helping hand. It isn't a secret," Burley said in a statement. "Now then, I don't want anyone to feel awkward or embarrassed talking to me about today's Daily Mirror.

"I'm not. As I said when they asked, it's not a secret."

She added: "I'm on the telly every day so if you can't tell the difference then I've done my money."

Asked if she would consider further surgery, Burley apparently answered: "Never say never."

Ex-GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips had claimed that her former colleague "shouldn't pander to the opinion that older women should be heard but not seen".
