Television presenter Helen Skelton has become the latest addition to the BT Sport team.

The BBC presenter will join the BT Sport Live set-up as well as the broadcaster's coverage of the Football Conference and the Women's Super League.

"I come from a sports mad family and have been around football my whole life," said Skelton. "My brother plays in the Conference North for Workington Reds, so when the opportunity came up to work with BT Sport I couldn't turn it down.

"I love the passion and loyalty you see from football supporters and I can't wait to tell the stories behind the teams."

Director of BT Sport Simon Green added: "We're delighted to welcome Helen to the BT Sport team. Helen is a fantastic presenter and is well regarded and respected for her sporting prowess. We are excited to have her on board."

The new channels will officially launch at 6pm this evening.
