Andy Parfitt, Controller Radio 1 said "I'm really happy to welcome Letitia to Radio 1 and she's bound to do a great job. The Surgery is a hugely important programme and is the front for all of our social action campaigns. Emma has been brilliant as the host for the last five years and I wish her all the best in her future career"
Letitia said "This is an amazing opportunity and I can't wait to get started. There isn't a show like the Sunday Surgery anywhere else on the radio and it's a real honour to be asked to front it and continue to take it forward"
Emma B said "I've had a wonderful time presenting the Sunday Surgery and am very proud of what we have achieved. I now feel ready to move on to work on new and exciting TV projects but I will be keeping my toes in the radio water with my Top Of The Pops World Service show and regular depping on 6 Music."
