Oh dear....

She doesn't actually look good for it... hmm... maybe its just the lack of make up.

To be fair, the dodgy picture isn't doing it justice.

I think the SNT Three was (were? Razz ) referring to the video clip attached featuring a pre-make-up Kay. It was pointless in the end though as she didn't present today in the end.

I have a question for someone who is in the know at Sky News. How long is the VT Loop of the globe used on the newswall and on the backing of VT Interviews, and the Sky News Active titles.

Judging by the length of the events filler on Sky News Active - it appears to be approximately 2:25ish on there (this is the length of the music track, and the video loops along with the track - you can usually see a quick flicker when the music comes to an end, but you can make out that it is a loop.)

I could be completely wrong though!

Yep its around the 2.30 mark, there abouts anyway. Sky is looking so old, boring and drab compared to N24. I hope they bring back some 'walkabouts' presentation.

Regarding Kay, urgh doesnt she look bloody awful with no make up on and a black eye. Nasty!

The background for the 2 ways are messed up at the moment. There is a frozen picture of the normal globe background, but right behind the boxes it's animated.

I think all the backgrounds need sorting out, there's at least 3 different ones that they use for different reasons.

The 'Coming up' and 'Sky.com' graphics are beginning to annoy me too. It looks very cheap.

Kay was very shaken and upset after her performance then. She did have a very nasty fall though, at least it didnt happen live. She got 15.5, currently bottom.

My God. She was really shaken on the programme. It really seems to have knocked her confidence. If she was like that on Sky News she'd be sacked! Rolling Eyes

I feel sorry for Kay, she was really really shaken after her performance last night, and dont blame her either. Glad shes still in the competition, I hope she does really well next week.

Yeah but if I were Kay I would have told Frank where he could stick his move. How she went out there with him doing that move after a fall like that I'll never know. I would not be able to trust him
