Rochdale-born 'Chappers' regularly presents Match Of The Day 2 and is a key part of the BBC's coverage of football on radio, presenting Sports Report on 5 Live and the Monday Night Club on the same channel.
Chapman, who attended Manchester Grammar School and grew up in Sale, fronts the Global podcast The Sports Agents with Gabby Logan, also one of the frontrunners to succeed Lineker.
The former gymnast has presented MOTD in Lineker's absence on many occasions while she also fronted the BBC's coverage as the Lionesses stormed to glory in the Euros in 2023.
Retired Lioness Alex Scott seems to be Chappers' strongest opponent.
She has presented The One Show and has also worked alongside Lineker as a presenter of the BBC's Sports Personality Of The Year programme.
