Slamming both Burley and Coates, another viewer said: βKay Burley calling David Cameron fat on live tv and her co hosts sheepishly repeating βhe put on weightβ after her is just insane.βΒ
One reacted: βKay Burley is dreadful at her job, obviously, but I wasnβt expecting her to fat shame David Cameron for no reason.βΒ
As footage began to circulate on social media, another chimed in: βI think someone at @SkyNews should have a quiet word in Kay Burleyβs ear. Her snipes at Cameron are getting a bit tedious.βΒ
However, another enjoyed the quips about the former PM, with one adding: βSam Coates is cracking me up on Sky News, him and Kay Burley are so savage about Cameron loool.βΒ
Mr Cameron is one of the most polarising British Prime Ministers most notably due to him quitting after Brexit was voted in.Β
