Scott Mills

Scott Robert Mills (born 28 March 1973)[1][2] is an English radio DJ, television presenter and occasional actor.

[9] Mills joined BBC Radio 1 in October 1998 to present the early breakfast show which was broadcast between 4 am and 7 am.

[7] The programme moved to an afternoon slot in April 2012 when Mills swapped presenting duties with Greg James.

[11] Whilst at Radio 1, Mills also provided holiday cover for other presenters as well as hosting The Official Chart between June 2018 and August 2022.

[18] On 1 July 2022, it was announced that Mills was to join Radio 2 permanently to replace Steve Wright in the Afternoon at the end of September 2022.

[19] On 19 November 2024, it was announced that Mills would replace Zoe Ball as the presenter of Radio 2's breakfast show.

He denied this rumour on his radio show, and listeners' suggestions to create a musical based on his life became a reality.

His main acting role was as reporter Paul Lang in the BBC medical drama Casualty, appearing in episodes in both 2006 and 2007.

He has presented high-profile programmes including the Wednesday night National Lottery draw on BBC One and his own pilot (featured on the radio show) of Reverse-a-Word.

In February 2011, Mills presented a documentary for BBC Three called The World's Worst Place to Be Gay?.

The celebrities spent five days in the Kaisut desert in north Kenya, covering 100 kilometres (62 miles) in temperatures up to 40 °C.

[34] On 16 and 17 November 2022, Mills raised over £1 million for Children in Need after riding on a treadmill for twenty four-hours.

[39] Occasionally on the show, deflective comments are made, and Mills often jokes that he "doesn't have much luck with the ladies".

[46] In November 2022, Mills' 24-hour Treadmill walking marathon with Radio 2 raised over £1.2M for Children in Need.
