Sky Sports News presenter Melissa Reddy wows in skimpy swimsuit as fans say she's 'best thing since Jeff Stelling'

SKY SPORTS presenter Melissa Reddy wowed fans as she shared pics of her summer holiday - and helped them get over Jeff Stelling leaving their screens.

Reddy joined Sky Sports as a football reporter in 2022 after leaving her role as a senior football correspondent at the Independent.

But with the football season over, Reddy swapped the news studio and Premier League grounds for a holiday to Croatia.

Taking to Instagram, where she has 204,000 followers, the 36-year-old shared an assortment of pics showing off her holidays.

In one post Reddy shared photos of herself in a red bikini, enjoying time both in the sea and a swimming pool.

In her next post she declared she was "obsessed" with Croatia, breaking down where she went in the country and recommending some top picks for any prospective travellers.

Her most recent post saw her in a black-spotted red and yellow bikini in some very different surroundings.

The South African presenter had swapped beaches for a more shaded forest river, posing on a rubber inflatable while relaxing on the river.

Reacting to the snaps, one fan said: "You are stunning Melissa ❤."

A second wrote: "Looking beautiful ❤."

A third reacted: "Absolutely gorgeous ❤ ♥"

"Goddess", simply typed a fourth.

A fifth reacted: "She's the best thing about sky sports since Jeff Stelling."

While a sixth declared: "You look reddy."

Back home, Sky Sports have been going through a number of changes, with Martin Tyler confirmed to be leaving and replaced by Peter Drury.

Six reporters have also lost their jobs including one "talented" journalist whose eloquent commentary for a Premier League goal went viral.

It comes after Jeff Stelling announced he was leaving his role on Soccer Saturday and Sky's axing of Soccer AM.
