The BBC Daytime show is due to begin broadcasting from its new home, the ABC Buildings in Manchester city centre from February 21st, and the trio have joined the former 'Coronation Street' star, who will continue to share co-hosting duties with Gethin Jones.

The new line-up will present the show daily in alternate pairings, and Rav Wilding will also remain a regular face on the programme.

Sam said: "I'm excited as we'll be four female presenters who all hail from the north west.

"It's like a northern powerhouse of women on TV every weekday morning!

"I'm from the Wirral and I'm so pleased that the move means we'll be able to travel to not only Manchester, but other places like Liverpool and Leeds.

"We'll be able to bring viewers a feeling for what's going on around the UK."

Kimberley added: "I love all the 'Morning Live' girls so, although we won't be on camera together, I'm hoping we'll cross paths while I'm up there.

"Manchester's a brilliant city and I can't wait to get started."

Sara joked the relocation is a bonus for her because she'll be able to meet her mum for breakfast after filming.

She added: "Mancunians have a real sense of community spirit and that's what Morning Live's all about.

"We want to be like a knowledgeable friend to our viewers – that mate who's good for a chat and a laugh over a brew but always offers great advice.

"One of the best things about the relocation for me is that I'll be able to meet my mum for breakfast after I finish work on the show."

'Morning Live' broadcasts Monday-Friday on BBC One Daytime at 9.15am.
