Broadcaster Holly Hamilton has taken over Stephen Nolan's morning radio show.

The TV presenter said she will be taking charge of the BBC Radio Ulster show for "the next few weeks" as Nolan takes a "much-needed break".

Sharing a glimpse into the radio studio, the former BBC Breakfast sports presenter took to her Instagram story and posted a photo of herself with the caption saying "Settle in, everyone. I'll be filling in for Nolan as he takes a well-deserved break on BBC Radio Ulster for the next three weeks." 

She will be presenting the show until 10:30 am, after which her husband, Connor Phillips, will take over with his mid-morning show.

Holly Hamilton, originally from Grey abbey in Co Down, is a familiar face on BBC television. 

She has worked for BBC Breakfast, covered major sports events like Wimbledon and the Open with BBC Sport, and previously served as the news and sport editor for Cool FM and Downtown Radio.
