Overview
- Local outlets published new profiles on Wednesday that highlighted Jon Kay’s on‑air remark that, for the first time in “20‑something years,” no one in his household is going to school.
- Francesca Kasteliz met Kay at BBC Bristol in 1998 and became a national TV and radio correspondent in 1999 before later serving as an assistant news editor at BBC News.
- She left front‑line reporting in 2006 to become a senior coach and trainer and now works as an internal coach at the BBC Academy, according to her official profile.
- The couple have three children and keep their identities private, with Kay splitting time between Salford and the family home in Westbury Park, Bristol.
- Kay returned to the BBC Breakfast sofa this week as long‑time colleague Carol Kirkwood prepares to leave the programme after more than 25 years.
