She joined the BBC in 1990 as Zimbabwe correspondent for the African section of the BBC World Service. She then returned to London to work for BBC World Service radio, before being posted to Tokyo for BBC News television in 1992 and then Washington, D.C., in 1996. Soon afterward, she joined The Times news bureau but returned to the BBC as a freelance journalist in 2002, based in the United States.

Speaking on MSNBC two days after the Manchester Arena bombing, she also argued that “we are never going to be able to totally wipe this out.” UKIP leader Nigel Farage strongly condemned Kay’s comments, stating “Never. If we accept this as a way of life that is giving in, it is appeasement, it is surrendering.” She spent time in various Middle Eastern countries where her father was posted as a British diplomat.
