"I've had a lot of fond memories on The Breakfast Show over the years. But I have to leave my comfort zone to grow," she said.

She told The Daily Chilli that on the new show, she gets to be a host, journalist, script-writer and will also be involved with production.

"I enjoy writing and production as much as I do hosting and I get to do all three on Bella," she said.

Bella airs on weekdays from 11.30am to 12am and Sunday, from 1.30pm to 2.30pm.

"It will have segments on lifestyle, celebrity, fashion and beauty," she said.

Because of her commitment to this new show, Iking had to leave The Breakfast Show which she has been co-hosting for the past four years.

"My last day was on New Year's Eve and I was a little sad. I have a lot of fond memories of it," she said.

Iking co-hosted The Breakfast Show on ntv7 with Joanne De Rozario, Hansen Lee, Aishah Sinclair and Nas Rahman.

Besides hosting, Iking is also making a name for herself in movies.

She won the Most Promising Actress award for her role as a con-artist in the movie Belukar at the recent Film Festival Malaysia (FFM) 23 awards.
