Female presenters at Sky Sports News have reportedly complained to higher-ups at the company following a survey that asked viewers to rate their appearances.

Sky recently published an audience feedback survey that gave viewers the opportunity to rate female presenters as “sexy”, “good looking”, “irritating”, “loveable” or “pretentious”.

And according to The Times, female presenters have since expressed to bosses their displeasure at the phrasing of the questions.

Sky are believed to have commissioned the survey to help managers determine which jobs should be fulfilled by which hosts.

At least one female presenter is said to have found out about the survey via a horrified family member with a subscription to Sky.
