So is Frank still on air?

I've only seen Kay since the event - probably because I'm not watching in the mornings when Frank is usually on.

It would seem unfair if she were to remain on air and Frank - Mr Innocent but set up by a scheming cow - Partridge were to remain off air.

Kay is 40 something, well past it. What's she doing shagging men at her age?

Ooh, just had a strange vision of being in court with Kay's libel lawyers questioning me. How odd.

So Kay's a bit of a slapper then. Well I've got a nice idea. With the impending arrival of Julie Etchingham, Paula Middlehurst will be out on a limb soon. Sack Kay and put Paula on.

Kay could sod off to the BBC, or something equally bad.

If it's very serious I'd love it to go to court. Just how would Sky go about reporting such a case?

Christa Ackroyd on the Kay/Frank affair:

From today's Sunday Express:

[i]The bust-up between two old flanes, Kay Burley and Frank Partridge, is an undignified affair. She claims he slapped her after a row that he pinched the chance to say goodnight. Others claim she'd been hogging the bulk of the 'and finallys'.

Oh, grow up both of you. The Great British public tune in to watch the news, not two prima donnas fighting to get the last word in edgeways.

As a fan of Christa its hard to say this but that's rubbish and come on she's just as bad especially with those shades! (As featured in the Look North Slide show)

I for one hope to see Frank again!

Kay Burley is so annoying. Frank Partridge is much better! I think the story will turn out to be all her doing. She seems the posessing type.

Very funny piece in tomorrow's Independent...

I can't stand Christa in her bloody column, she's a tad up her own backside.

Is Christa's column available online? I never even knew she had one until Kath told us!

Christa's column appears in the Sunday Express, which is not available online due to Express Newspapers cut backs on web content.

I haven't seen Frank since that incident! On Sunday afternoon, a prime shift for Frank, Jonathan Morrell, ex YTV, Wellbeing, was presenting with Juliet Foster

Funny you should say that - who's presenting this afternoon? Mark Longhurst and Paula Middlehurst!

Nope, but I can always type it up for you and e-mail it to you if you like. Maybe one day, I'll put a few of my favourite quotes from it on here. I've collected every one since early August, when I knew Christa was joining Look North.
