With the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in full swing, there’s plenty of coverage to catch on BBC One.

But who are the hosts keeping you up to date with all the skiing, bobsledding and figure skating action from South Korea?

Familiar BBC presenters Clare Balding and Hazel Irvine are leading the coverage, but they’ll also be helped by some less recognisable faces.

Here’s everything you need to know about Chemmy Alcott, Sarah Lindsay, Eilidh Barbour and Radzi Chinyanganya.
