A SKY News reporter's description of the Nice attack as a "vintage performance" has sparked outrage on social media.

Viewers responded with fury at Lisa Holland's choice of words, which were broadcast just hours after a crazed driver killed 84 people last night.

The journalist said: "If this is confirmed as an Islamist inspired terror attack it will be a vintage performance because they are always looking for new ways to cause devastation and cause shock."

The driver drove more than a mile along the Nice promenade, ploughing through locals and visitors who had gathered to celebrate Bastille Day.

Viewers of the Sky News broadcast tweeted their disbelief at the commentary they claimed was more suitable for golf.

One wrote: "Phil Mickleson's 63 is a vintage performance, not slaughtering innocent civilians FFS."

Another said: "'Vintage performance from ISIS' is not how the women on sky should describe a tragedy like that..."

One person described the report as "truly appalling", another called it "absolutely disgusting".
