News,BBC,Emma Barnett

The 39-year-old broadcaster hosted Woman's Hour on the same channel from 2021 until she bid farewell to the female focused show last month.

BBC Radio 4 listeners were divided over Emma Barnett's debut as host of the Today show with some fans praising her 'refreshing' presence, while others questioned whether she had turned the show into Woman's Hour.

While fans were happy to hear her voice four hours earlier than usual, others were less than impressed with a quip about putting 'bananas on condoms'. While a fan said: 'How refreshing to wake up to the voice if Emma Barnett. Welcome to our space and all the best.' One listener said: 'How fabulous to listen to Emma Barnett this morning. Interview with a member of the band who had Anthony Blinken on stage with him in Ukraine, priceless.

Barnett was left almost speechless before bidding her farewell to the team in the final minutes of the show, saying: ‘It has been an incredible ride. I’m not sure I have many words left to say after that but I do want to thank you for your company in the Woman’s Hour hot seat.
