Kay Burley has been urged to go on Strictly Come Dancing by fans after showing off her fancy footwork on social media.

The Sky News anchor posted a video of herself and a male companion dancing in a kitchen on Twitter, writing: “Barefoot Ceroc dancing on a Sunday afternoon anyone?”

Burley’s moves impressed her Twitter followers, who suggested that she sign up for the BBC celebrity dancing programme, which will return for a 15th series in autumn.

Sky News’ Alastair Bruce led the responses to her video, commenting: “Surely you are a candidate for the #Strictly team – you would be determined to win, able, feisty, direct (God knows!) and funny @bbcstrictly.”

“You need to consider strictly @KayBurley,” one of Burley’s followers said.

Many shared the sentiment, with another adding: “Now there’s an audition for strictly come dancing Kay if I ever saw one go for it.”

One person wrote: “You’re a great mover Kay, you should enter strictly.”

Another said: “Looks like a Strictly audition to me.”

Burley, 56, previously appeared on ITV ice skating show Dancing On Ice.

The line-up for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing has yet to be announced.
