Birth name and exact birth date[edit]

Is her full name at birth "Katty"? Or is that a nickname?

Her birth listing as "circa 1964" needs to be replaced by an exact birthdate.

Location of wallingford[edit]

Hi. I speak as a past resident of Wallingford for 10 years. The information under her photo mentions that Wallingford (Katty's birthplace) is in the county of Berkshire. This is incorrect. Wallingford used to be in Berkshire but has been in Oxfordshire for some years (1974) as mentioned in Wallingford(UK)'s own Wiki page in the second sentence. This point is minutiae but we might as well get it right.Longfinal (talk) 21:18, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plastic surgery[edit]

There seem to be repeated articles mentioning Katty Kay and plastic surgery.

Probably not worth adding into profile, but interesting trends in broadcasting - with 4k TV coming soon.

From 2012:

Katty Kay / Age 48 BBC News correspondent

“She’s an attractive woman who looks refreshed by likely having Botox or Dysport around her eyes and brow as well as hyaluronic-acid-filler injections in her nasolabial folds and mouth corners,” Alster says. “Either her toxin injections are providing a lifted appearance to her eyes or she’s had a subtle eye lift. It’s sometimes hard to tell.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.224.32.138 (talk) 10:30, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New profile pic needed[edit]

Is this really the best pic you can find of Katty Kay? It is old and not very flattering. Does not really look like her. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.231.27.254 (talk) 11:58, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
