Helen Chamberlain leaves Soccer AM in show shake-up


Long-serving Soccer AM host Helen Chamberlain has left the Saturday morning Sky show after 22 years.

It's not clear whether Chamberlain has been axed or whether she decided to call time on the show.

She'll be replaced with two new presenters. Comedian Lloyd Griffith and ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard will join regular host John Fendley when the show returns on Saturday.

The show has been suffering a decline in ratings and the faced a backlash from fans when announcing the changes after not even referring to Chamberlin in a tweet to reveal the new line-up.

Two hours later, the show's account tweeted: "Farewell and thank you to Mrs Soccer AM. This place won't be the same without you."

Soccer AM returns on Saturday (August 14) on Sky 1, Sky Sports Premier League & Sky Sports Football.
