Nadine Dorries abruptly ended her interview with Sky News’ Kay Burley after a man started yelling at her off-camera. Mrs. Dorries was seen looking to her left as Mrs. Burley asked her about the Commonwealth Games, which start tonight. The Culture Secretary then suddenly said to Mrs Burley: “I’m afraid we must go now!”
When Mrs. Burley asked why, Mrs. Dorries said, “I have to go now. The cameraman is in some trouble.”
She can then be seen looking around for security before leaving the live recording.
The unidentified man could be heard screaming in the background of the interview, claiming that the “cameraman touched me”.
The culture secretary responded quickly: “The cameraman did not touch him.”
