Following the alton Tower's incident on the 2nd June whereby the ride Smiler was involved in a collision, news reporter Kay Burley interviewed the CEO of the theme park for Sky News. Viewers were out raged by the interview she conducted with Nick Varney saying that it was 'grossly unfair' and 'bullying'. Viewers initiated a petition too have Burley sacked and it has now reached 50,000 signatures. One viewer Emma Stylianou claimed she was 'disgusted' and that 'SKY should be ashamed.' TV regulator for Ofcom reported 1,100 complaints after the interview was aired with Burley making statements such as “They went to have a fantastic day and they have potentially lost a limb. You won’t tell us if they have or not.”
Personally, I think that as a news reported Burley should have acted more professionally and should know how to conduct a professional interview. She could have been more sensitive about the matter and allowed Varney to talk as there were reports of her interrupting him.
