Legendary broadcaster Jeff Stelling has been announced as the new host of talkSPORT's Breakfast Show.
The former Sky Sports host will join Ally McCoist for the show every Monday and Tuesday once he starts in the role in December.
Stelling steps into the job after Laura Woods left the company to take up a job at TNT Sports.

McCoist - who won pundit of the year last year at the Sports Journalism Awards - will remain on the show in his usual Monday to Wednesday slots.
Natalie Sawyer and Andy Townsend will continue to host the show until Stelling's start date at the end of the year.
On the move, Stelling said: “I’m so pleased to be joining the team at talkSPORT.
"As a long time listener to the show it’s a dream of mine to sit in the legendary chair and wake people up every Monday and Tuesday.
"I might not be looking forward to the 4:30 alarm call, but I am looking forward to getting stuck in with great guests, chat and fun every morning alongside the legendary Ally McCoist.”
Meanwhile, former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has also joined talkSPORT to feature on White and Jordan in regular slots.
Head of talkSPORT Liam Fisher added: “I’m blown away by the fantastic roster of talent that we’re bringing to the airwaves.
"Listeners can expect a fresh sound and feel from some brilliant new faces, as well as hearing from fan favourites from across the talkSPORT network.
"Our new shows will bring fans closer to the action with deep dives into the week of sport on Sunday Edition. We’re also keen for fans to have their say with our new Sunday phone-in show, Final Word. This season on talkSPORT is not to be missed.”
