Helen Chamberlain has left Soccer AM after 22 years as host of the popular Sky TV show.

The 50-year-old first presented the show alongside Tim Lovejoy in 1995, which catapulted her to fame among the football community.

After Lovejoy left in 2007, she continued to host the show with John Fendley but Chamberlain has now decided to depart - with producers announcing two new faces as her replacement.

Comedian Lloyd Griffith and former Fulham, Wigan and Hull midfielder Jimmy Bullard will join Soccer AM from September.

Writing on their Instagram account on Monday, Soccer AM paid tribute to Chamberlain saying: "Farewell & thank you to Mrs Soccer AM. This place won't be the same without you x".

Bullard expressed his joy at his new role but said it would be "impossible" to replace Chamberlain.

He tweeted: "Get on this people! Youse (sic) have asked me for years and now it's happening! @socceram Buzzing, excited & proud!

"In my excitement forgot to mention @HellsBellsy - impossible to step into her shoes. Amazing presenter & always be grateful to her."
