Rachel Burden will present the Salford-bound 5 Live Breakfast show with Nicky Campbell after being announced as the the programme's new co-host.

The 5 Live Weekend Breakfast presenter will take over from Shelagh Fogarty, who is moving to a new lunchtime slot in May.

"Shelagh is the mother of all breakfast broadcasters and I can only hope to match the impression she's made on the early mornings of millions of people," Burden said.

"My family is already gearing up for the move to Salford and I am really excited about working alongside Nicky and the rest of 5 Live in our new home in Salford Quays."

Burden began her radio career as a reporter at BBC Radio Suffolk, before going on to present Radio Bristol's Breakfast show and then 5 Live's Weekend Breakfast in 2003.
