Kay Burley is carried from Piers Morgan’s Christmas party

She has been an anchor for Sky News since 1988, reportedly presenting more hours of live TV than any other newsreader. 

So Kay Burley was certainly ready to let her hair down as she attended Piers Morgan’s star-studded Christmas party on Thursday.

The host, 57, was seen grinning like a Cheshire cat as she was carried out of the raucous event at the Scarsdale Tavern and joined a host of other celeb party-goers including Frank and Christine Lampard, Myleene Klass, Charlotte Hawkins and Ben Shephard.

 Clad in a purple figure-hugging dress, Kay was seen beaming, despite being carried out of the venue. 

And once she had been swept out of the event, she continued her cheery display- apparently unable to let the small blip ruin her festive cheer.

Kay was soon joined by a male companion, who placed his arm around her supportively as she made her way home.

Despite her animated display, Kay appeared not to be suffering from a sore head on Friday morning, as she took to Twitter to share the latest news. 

A very Merry Christmas was clearly had by all celebrities at Piers’ star-studded Christmas party as a number of famous faces including Frank and Christine Lampard and Myleene Klass and boyfriend Simon Motson let their hair down on Thursday.

Frank and Christine were fresh from celebrating their second wedding anniversary the previous night as they attended the Christmas bash, looking slightly bleary-eyed as they partied.

The loved-up couple walked hand-in-hand while they showcased their signature style for the occasion in their sophisticated threads as they arrived at the West London venue. 

While Myleene, 39, and her hunky fashion PR boyfriend Simon were clearly one unit as the high-spirited presenter clung onto her man who wrapped his arms around her as he hugged her while walking into the venue while her hair fell over her face. 

Putting her best fashion foot forward, Christine, 38, looked chic in a daring black leather high-waisted skirt which featured a racy slit in the front.

Highlighting her enviable pins, the Northern Irish beauty teamed the sizzling garment with a pair of pointed black suede stilettos.    

She teamed her look with a stylish form-fitting turtleneck while she wrapped up in a camel-coloured knee-length coat as she carried her leather handbag with studded detailing in her hand.

Christine worked her glossy brunette locks into a centre parting, before cascading down her shoulders into a straight style and flashing her diamond studded earrings.

Complementing Christine’s demure look, former footballer 39-year-old Frank donned a pair of grey suit trousers, burgundy lightweight sweater and textured blazer.

Their beaming display comes a day after they celebrated their second wedding anniversary with a posh meal at a Mayfair restaurant on Wednesday.

The sports star joked that Christine was a real ‘loose woman’ as she tipped her head back and downed a vodka shot with gusto to toast their relationship.

The Loose Women panellist smiled nervously while holding the shot as Frank filmed her during their dinner.

He said: ‘Here she is Mrs Lampard on our second anniversary, doing a vodka shot. You’re so brave.’ Christine grinned and held up the shot, drawling ‘Happy anniversary’ before guzzling the tipple.

Observing her grimace afterwards, Frank chuckled and joked: ‘Well done darling. You can take the girl out of Belfast…’   

Sparks initially were flying when Christine and Frank met at the Pride of Britain Awards back in October 2009. The couple have gone from strength to strength following their two-year engagement when Frank got down on one knee in June 2011.

Northern-Irish Christine is stepmother to Frank’s daughters Luna, aged 12, and Isla, aged 10, from his ex fiancée Spanish model Elen Rivas.

As the couple have no children together, Christine revealed the pressures from friends to have kids of her own in a candid appearance on Loose Women.

Speaking about Serena Williams’ controversial comments that giving birth makes you a ‘real woman’, she admitted: ‘As a woman with no children I kind of see where she’s coming from.’

Asked whether she had ever felt under pressure to start a family, she candidly replied: ‘Yeah. But it’s definitely got less, people are more open minded about what you want to do. Back in the day it was about being “too ambitious and being a selfish cow” but of course that’s not the case…

‘Women put so much pressure on themselves – I have friends who have gone through IVF and it doesn’t work out – and they feel terrible guilt. They feel like their bodies have let them down. I feel terribly sorry for the couples that go through that as it’s the one natural thing we’re all expected to be able to do.’

However, the lovebirds are blissfully happy together with Christine admitting: ‘I fancy him very, very much and feel very lucky.’

Of their marriage, the WAG explained: ‘I love the idea of going back to basics. I love my date nights. I love pretending like I am 18 again, you know when you get your hair done for the day. I know this sounds really soppy, but nothing fancy. I just mean the two of us having one night just us.’  

Meanwhile, broadcaster Myleene, 39, looked chic in a strapless jumpsuit which accentuated her petite frame as she walked into the venue with her other half Simon.

She left her brown locks loose in a tousled curl while she teetered across the road in her sky-high heels as Simon held her hand tightly in his stylish ensemble.

Her new found love comes after her failed marriage with bodyguard Graham Quinn, 41, who is the father to Hero and Ava. Graham walked out on her 34th birthday in April 2012 putting an end to their love, with their divorce finalised in 2013.

Discussing her devastation, she admitted to Woman magazine: ‘I thought I’d never smile or trust anyone ever again. I felt so betrayed and so crushed. But I couldn’t wallow in it. I said to my mum and dad, “I’m broken, but I will not sink.”‘

Myleene has been working at Smooth Radio since 2014 and presents a Saturday show between 10am and 2pm. She embarked on a career in presenting in 2005, after finding fame as a member of Hear’Say and as a solo artist.
