    Sky News star Kay Burley has been slapped with more than 1,500 Ofcom complaints following comments made about Israel following the terror attack.

    Viewers claimed that the 62-year-old misquoted comments made by Palestinian Ambassador Husam Zomlot. During her breakfast show on October 10, the presenter accused Zomlot of saying "Israel had it coming" over the recent attacks carried out by Hamas.

    Kay's words appeared to be taken from an interview with the Palestinian ambassador with CNN's Chirstiane Amanpour. He said: "What is even more tragic or equally tragic is the blindness and deafness of the international community for so many years. Of the warning we have been giving that this was coming. Israel knew that this was coming their way."
