Sky Sports’ Hayley McQueen has spoken out about the sexist criticism she faces, stating she feels female presenters have to work harder to avoid nasty comments.
Hayley is currently a main anchor on Sky Sports News and also presents the Saturday evening highlights show ‘Match Choice’.
And speaking to the Express, she’s now said that women do not have it as easy as their male counterparts.
She told the publication: “It’s almost like you have to put in twice as much effort to get half the credit. Instead of just getting on with doing our job, you do have to worry about making sure that you get everything absolutely perfect.
Hayley has also opened up about some of the messages she receives on social media, explaining while she still receives a number of inappropriate tweets, the situation has improved in recent years.
Hayley’s TV career began over a decade ago, when she worked as a runner on ‘Richard And Judy’.
She then landed her first sports presenting role, on Middlesbrough’s Boro TV channel, before being headhunted by Sky Sports.
