Jules Breach to replace Des Kelly as TNT Sports touchline reporter

TNT bosses also want Laura Woods to present their coverage of live sport

As revealed by the Daily Mail, bosses at the rebranded BT Sport want Breach to replace the outgoing Des Kelly, with the company set to unveil their new line up imminently ahead of their launch next Tuesday.

As part of the new-look at TNT, the hierarchy are keen to move away from the styling of presenting which often saw laddish banter often used by ex-male players.

Breach has been an integral member of the BT Sport team for several years and worked as a presenter for the popular afternoon results programme, Score, which was axed after seven years at the end of last season.

In addition to her work with BT, Breach has also presented coverage of England's international fixtures on Channel 4 and could be joined by Laura Woods, who is in line to replace Jake Humphrey as the presenter for TNT's Champions League coverage.

Lynsey Hipgrave will continue fronting their Premier League games while Karen Carney and Lucy Ward will be two of the major co-commentators throughout next season.

It comes as Sky Sports have also announced a raft of changes. Graeme Souness, Jeff Stelling, Martin Tyler and Geoff Shreeves have all parted ways with the broadcaster while Peter Drury has replaced Tyler in a massive coup for Sky.
