Fingers on the pulse

Hey did you read the Belfast Telegraph's report of the courthouse spat involving Kay Burley? Neither did Monkey, until it was drawn to our attention. "Two women facing off, one with her hand grasped around the other's throat. It had to be Naomi Campbell's day in court. But cast your assumptions aside: the model had nothing to do with the fisticuffs. The Sky News presenter Kay Burley, 46, was accused of pinning the Associated Press photographer Kirsty Wigglesworth against a wall by the throat after Burley had been hit in the face with a camera." With impeccable timing, the Bel Tel that same day published an interview with the first lady of Sky News plugging her Lunchtime Live programme. It included this gem. "Q: The most surprising thing that happened to me was ... Kay: That I didn't strangle Jason from Dancing on Ice. He was so rude. You couldn't even print what the contestants referred to him as behind the scenes."
