Former Sky News star Kay Burley posed alongside her son and shared snaps from over the years as they bid farewell from their family home and prepared to move on to pastures new
Kay Burley smiled alongside her son, Alexander ‘Wolfie’ Kutner, as they bid farewell to their family home. The 64-year-old former Sky News host reflected on her time in the home that is located in a historic village within the boundaries of Greater London.
Kay, who was married to businessman Steve Kutner in the early 1990s, and shares her only child with him, took to social media to mark the “end of an era”. The TV star uploaded a number of photographs on Instagram showing herself and her son at vairious points over the decades.
Snaps also showed Kay testing out her guitar skills, and their adorable family dog leaning in for snaps too. Uploading the images on Friday, Kay wrote: “End of an era. Moving day from Harrow on the Hill.”
The news reporter continued: “I have spent half my life in this street and my son @wolfiekutner has spent his whole life here. He went to school a stone’s throw away from the front door and we often had a house full of his schoolmates playing cricket in the garden.
“I spent most of my working life at Sky based in this street. I remember being woken by my head of news and driving up the road in the dark on 31st August, 1997 not knowing what the day would bring – it was the morning Diana died.”
She added: “We will leave many memories behind.” The collection of images drew attention from fans as they rarely see her with her son.
Wolfie has a number of social media accounts that suggest he deals in luxury cars and luxury watches. Meanwhile, Kay appears to be easing herself into retirement life.
In February this year it was revealed that Kay was retiring from Sky News after an impressive 36 years of service. Recapping highlights from her career at the station, the star signed out from her breakfast show for the final time that month.
She told viewers: “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 – it’s 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.”
She went on to vow that she would keep fans in her life by sharing updates via social media – a promise she has gamely kept since bowing out from the spotlight.
