Sky News' Kay Burley has found herself under growing pressure after video footage shared on social media appears to show her rolling her eyes when discussing Hamas hostages.
Footage of her discussing the news agenda while walking through the Sky News studio ahead of yesterday's Breakfast has been widely circulated online.
The video was filmed shortly before she sparked anger over her controversial questioning of Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy.
The news presenter was criticised after questioning whether Israel places less value on Palestinian lives due to discrepancies in the number of prisoners being swapped.

A ceasefire deal with Hamas will see 150 Palestinian prisoners handed over by Israel in return for 50 hostages held by the terror group.
In the video footage circulating from just ahead of the video Burley is walking through the studio with a member of staff who says: "What is going on with the hostages in the hands of Hamas?
It is at this point that Burley appears to roll her eyes in reaction to the news.
The footage has been circulated, with some accusing her of "scorn and irritated disdain".

However, others said that the gesture "indicated distress rather than boredom".
Last night Levy joined Patrick Christys on GB News to say he was “flabbergasted” at the way Burley conducted the Sky News interview.
"I’ve given many interviews and that was the first question that left my jaw on the floor," he said.
"The idea that since Israel is releasing 150 Palestinian prisoners convicted of violent offences in exchange for 50 hostages somehow means that we care less about Palestinian lives because that is the deal we have agreed to.
“If we could do a one for one swap, that would be preferable."
Burley took to social media to defend her actions, saying: "We often put one side of an argument to a guest so they can offer a counterclaim.
"Yesterday, I raised a controversial view from an earlier guest to allow another to respond.
"Each morning we’re dedicated to presenting fairly the news of this war."
The first group of 13 Israeli hostages, consisting of children and their mothers, are set to be freed at about 4pm local time today.
