Bookies have predicted that Kay Burley will move to rival channel GB News after she stepped down from Sky News yesterday. After working on the channel for three decades, the 64-year-old announced her retirement live on air on Wednesday.

There are 5/2 odds that Kay will move to Fox News and a 3/1 chance she will join the ITV show Loose Women. The probability of Kay moving to LBC News stands at 4/1.
While she has officially retired from Sky News, the experienced broadcaster stopped short of announcing a complete retirement from television.
