KATE TRACEY has surprised fans by adding a "rollercoaster" role to the hurdles in her versatile career.

Sky Sports' popular horse-racing broadcaster has become Aston Villa's new TV presenter for their biggest season in decades.

The broadcaster has made good use of the hot spell

The fans' favourite says she is "over the moon" with her new position.

And Villa supporters claim the feeling is mutual - ahead of Saturday's Premier League launch at West Ham.

One told Kate: "Congratulations. Best team in the world."

Another posted: "Welcome to the best and most wonderfully named club on the planet!!!"

The sporting host sparked speculation earlier in the summer by sharing a snap with an Aston Villa cap.

And if that was a decent enough clue, this time she spelt it out loud and clear - as she stood next next to a huge Villa badge.

Kate posted: "Straight off the plane and into a new job... A little something I've been keeping up my sleeve for a while now (bar a big hint) but over the moon to be the new VillaTV presenter for this season."

Unai Emery's men earned an historic shot at the Champions League this campaign after coming fourth in the Prem last term.

And one fan told Kate: "Congrats enjoy the rollercoaster because that's what it will be but it hooks you in."

She thanked many well-wishing fans personally on social media.

And in one such message she gave a clear nod to Villa's new era by adding: "What a time to join."

Apart from fame in front of the camera, Kate has built an army of admirers by posting online pics in an array of colourful outfits, recently including bikinis and sarongs.

But now it's time to focus more on the claret and blue of Villa - amid a two-tone career covering football as well as the gee-gees.

This shade is a pretty good match for what Kate can expect from Villa
