Obviously chuffed with winning news channel of the year at the Royal Television Society awards last week, head of Sky News John Ryley sent round an email offering congratulations and informing staff they would be treated to a free bottle of bubbly for their efforts.

However, Monkey hears chief news correspondent Stuart Ramsay wasn’t too impressed, and felt the need to email the whole office with his response.

His email read: “I remember sitting on the table next to you a few years ago. We won reporter presenter home foreign and innovation. We didn’t win channel. This year we won nothing – apart from channel.

“Personally, while I’ll guzzle the shampoo, I think we walk away from an utterly bent and pointless award.

“This is the year we say goodbye OR they change the voting to an academy system – because block voting by ITV is ridiculous. Just a thought.”

Monkey understands this isn’t the first time Ramsay has shared his forthright with the whole office.

Not the first time the accusation has been made either.
