Burden became emotional on air, explaining that she felt it was time to 'poke myself out of my comfort zone' and 'do something new' due to shifting personal priorities. Naga Munchetty, currently of BBC Breakfast, is set to replace Burden and Edwards in the 5Live breakfast slot. Burden will remain at BBC 5Live, moving to host the weekday mid-morning programme, while Rick Edwards will continue presenting 'Fighting Talk'.
