Edmondson covers Cox on Radio 1

BBC Radio 1's recent signing Matt Edmondson will be stepping in for Sara Cox whilst she goes on maternity leave next month.

Matt currently presents the showbiz news on Fearne Cotton's show each Friday but is very excited about getting his own show.

Matt says: "I'm ridiculously excited about getting started on The Lie In – I've been busying myself in the basement of Radio 1 HQ and have got some great stuff planned for the show – I can't wait."

Ben Cooper, Deputy Controller on BBC Radio 1, says: "It's always exciting when brand new talent start on Radio 1. I'm really looking forward to hearing Matt on a Sunday morning with his particular take on the world."
