Scott Mills Takes the Radio 2 Mornings Crown: Time for a Cuppa!

Scott Mills is all set to wake you up with laughter and tunes as he steps into Zoe Ball's shoes at BBC Radio 2! Get the lowdown on his new gig and how it’s shaking up the airwaves!

The UK radio landscape is buzzing with excitement as Scott Mills prepares to fill the big shoes left by Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2's breakfast show. After six fantastic years, Zoe has announced her decision to take a step back from the weekday slot. Her final show on December 20 will surely be a bittersweet farewell for listeners who have come to love her engaging style and upbeat banter. But never fear, fans—Scott Mills is set to take over from January and he's ready to make mornings brighter, funnier, and filled with the sort of music that gets you dancing in your kitchen!

Scott Mills, known for his charming wit and infectious energy, is no stranger to Radio 2, having worked his magic in the afternoons. Now, he'll be trading in his afternoon slot for the coveted breakfast show—talk about a promotion sweeter than a full English! His infectious personality is bound to create a fresh new vibe on the morning airwaves, ensuring listeners kick off their day with a smile and a good giggle. And while the excitement builds, Mills is no doubt also feeling the pressure to keep that stellar ratings record for the already massively popular station that boasts a whopping 13.3 million listeners weekly!

In another twist, Trevor Nelson is also getting a shake-up, moving from his Rhythm Nation show to take over Mills’ former afternoon slot. Spoony will step into Nelson's shoes, meaning there's a lot of shuffling happening behind the scenes at Radio 2! This whole change is part of a new programming strategy to refresh the lineup and keep listeners engaged—only time will tell how fans react to the new faces in the familiar spaces. It’s a stunning game of radio musical chairs!

As the changes unfold, one can't help but wonder what Zoe's next venture at Radio 2 will be—is she secretly gearing up for a new show, or is she simply looking to explore other exciting opportunities? Meanwhile, Scott Mills carries the torch forward, leading the way into a new breakfast era. Did you know that Zoe Ball's tenure saw more than just an audience; it saw a community formed around her quirky style and signature playlist? History is rich in the morning show scene in the UK, and Mills has some hefty expectations to juggle. But if anyone can handle it, it’s him!
