What happened on The Chase Celebrity Special?
Viewers were left stunned on Christmas Day by journalist Kat Burley.
The broadcaster is a political expert for a living, and yet she stumbled on what should have been an easy question.
Richard Herring, Tim Lovejoy, Eniola Aluko and Kay were all hard at work trying to win some cash.
But Kay kicked herself when she messed up a question about Margaret Thatcher.
Bradley asked: “How many times was Margaret Thatcher re-elected as Prime Minister?”
Kay fired back: “Three”.
However, as most people are aware, Thatcher was only re-elected twice!
As a result, viewers raced to social media to poke fun at Kay’s mistake.
One said: “For an “international journalist” who covers global political stories & interviews international politicians, #kayburley sure doesn’t know anything about current events. She even got the Thatcher question wrong. How did she get her job? #TheChase”

Another tweeted: “Well she maybe in disgrace after her covid faux Pas but Kay Burley is not bad at this quizzing lark even though she got the Thatcher question wrong shocking #thechase”.
While a third questioned: “She didn’t know Thatcher was elected twice?”
What did Kay Burley do?
Kay recently got into trouble at work.
The star was celebrating her birthday when she broke the Covid-19 gathering rules.
As a result of her behaviour, she has been put on leave for six months from Sky News.
She said: “I’m an idiot. I’m really very sorry. I know I have let so many of you down. There’s really nothing else I can say to excuse my actions.”
