Meet the all-female trio tasked with making football on TV 'less laddish': Laura Woods, Jules Breach and Lynsey Hipgrave are lined up as the front-women for the launch of new Premier League broadcaster TNT Sports

Laura Woods, Jules Breach and Lynsey Hipgrave have been brought in as the all-female trio to frontline TNT Sports' Premier League coverage next season, as the new sports channel bids to remove 'laddish banter' from football's television screens.

BT Sport will no longer exist from next week and will instead be known as TNT Sports, with the company's American owners Warner Bros Discovery deciding to drastically change the channel's identity in terms of style and tone.

Mail Sport revealed on Wednesday that the channel, who had already hired Woods to replace former Champions League host Jake Humphrey, had appointed Breach as a touchline reporter after axing pitch-side stalwart Des Kelly.
