Ms Bird is recovering from being hospitalised with a twisted bowel, but will front BBC Scotland's Hogmanay Live from Edinburgh's Princes Street, the broadcaster said yesterday.
The anchorwoman was rushed to Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride last month after suffering agonising stomach pains and had parts of her intestines removed.
