What a great promo.
Excellent call to have Kay host election night. She is by far their best presenter when it comes to the crossover between news and entertainment.

British TV makes me chuckle sometimes - Sky were doing a live cross from outside the Euro 2024 final after England lost, some knucklehead walked behind the reporter and yelled “shite” and the first thing the reporter did was apologise for the bad language

OFCOM rules but it’s also post watershed but probably just their policy. My experience has been they need to apologise straight away as a defence in case of any complaints.
