A SKY News presenter has been “left homeless” after a horror kitchen fire made left house “uninhabitable”.
Matthew Thompson – who also used to work on BBC’s Newsnight – took to social media over the weekend to reveal all about the shock incident.
He wrote: “Well. I came home from a 14 hour day at work yesterday to find there had been a large fire in my flat.
“It is currently uninhabitable. Seems our @nutribullet spontaneously burst into flames. How’s your weekend going?”
He continued: “The real challenge is that this country comes to a full scale halt on a weekend.
“@LondonFire can’t tell me what happened until Monday. Buildings insurance @McLarensGlobal are unreachable.
“I am homeless, have no idea why my flat has caught fire, and the collective response is [shrug emoji].”
Fellow journalist Matthew Stadlen replied: “Very sorry to hear this.”
While another follower added: “I’m sorry to hear that Matthew, it must be horrible to arrive home to that.”
A third tweeted: “Jesus Matt that’s awful. Hope you and the family are ok.”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “So sorry to read this – what an awful set of circumstances. Best wishes for everything.”
Last month, Matthew revealed he had become a father during an appearance on Kay Burley’s Sky News show.
