Scott Mills has started his new breakfast show on BBC Radio 2, officially taking over from Zoe Ball.
In an opening statement at 6.30am on Monday 27th January, Scott Mills played his new sung jingle and said he’s still finding it quite hard to process that it’s happening.
“When I think about the previous occupiers of this show it becomes mind blowing to me, for a kid who wanted to be on the radio but wasn’t sure he had the self confidence to be able to actually do it.”
He’ll be featuring the Birthday Game and the Easiest Quiz On The Radio, and is joined by Tina Daheley on news and Ellie Brennan on travel.
He went on to add that he wants the listeners to be the star of the show, and talked about his career: “I’ve been at the BBC on the radio for 25 years. A lot of you may well have grown up listening to me, I’m sure a lot of you will not have much idea about me at all. Either way, if you can make me part of your morning routine it would mean so much.
“I’m going to give it everything I’ve got – this might be the best day of my life (apart from getting married).”
Scott’s first song was the latest version of Rock DJ by Robbie Williams.
