TV presenter Kay Burley has claimed she once threatened a stranger who stroked her at a party by saying, “If you do that again I’ll punch your f***ing lights out."
The outspoken Sky News anchor, 57, discussed her relationships with men in a revealing interview with the Sun on Saturday.
Ms Burley said: “I’ve always spoken out. I’ve never tolerated bad behaviour, even when I was at my shyest.
“I remember once saying to some bloke who stroked his finger down my spine at a party, ‘If you do that again I’ll punch your f***ing lights out’.”
She added: “You get what you see with me, I’m afraid."

The presenter, who was recently named broadcast journalist of the year at the London Press Club, revealed she receives a lot of attention from men.
She said: “Boys - younger boys - find me attractive. Older men find me attractive. It causes endless embarrassment to my son.
“I don’t care, he’s going to have to get over it, isn’t he?”

Ms Burley, who has been married twice and has a 25-year-old son called Alex, admits to having plastic surgery and using botox.
She said she sent the entire Sky newsroom an email on her first day back after a lower face lift.
It read: “Yes, I’ve had a facelift. If you want to know more, come and talk to me.”
In a separate interview with the Times, the presenter said: “It was a good thing… I think it made a huge difference.”
“Some women feel they want to grow old gracefully, whatever that might mean. I don’t have a graceful bone in my body.”

She also told the Sun: “You know, I’m 57 years old and I think I’m 17 still. I’m very happy to dance on tables.
“I recently gave up sugar and I lost 20lb. I realised that I look quite good and quite sassy.”
The presenter has often sparked controversy during her 33-year career. In 2008, she asked the ex-girlfriend of Suffolk strangler Steve Wright if he wouldn’t have become a murderer if they’d had a better sex life.
She also made Peter Andre cry on live TV in 2010 and was accused of being “a bit dim” in a fierce interview with Labour MP Chris Bryant during the same year.
She was criticised for being “biased” towards the Conservatives during a 2015 election debate between Ed Miliband and David Cameron.
A petition calling for her to be sacked received more than 50,000 signatures in the wake of her hard-hitting interview with Alton Towers boss Nick Varney after teenagers were seriously injured in an accident at his theme park.
