Scott Mills' nan
Guest
Okay, well, we could go on forever doing our Scott Mills fun facts, but I think we're going
to take a break there just for now. We've got one more segment. When he landed his very
first paid radio gig, he earned just £20 for each five hour overnight show that had to
be dropped off and picked up by his parents because he couldn't drive.
Always says his nan gave him his first big break in radio by teaching him to Fox trot.
A skill he later joked came in very handy during his Samber routine on strictly condensing.
He once borrowed an idea from Australian radio stars Kyle and Jackie O for a segment called
Confessions of an Uber Driver, but admitted the British taxi stories he got were nowhere near as
wild or dramatic. He presented a BPC program digging into the weird and unexpected objects
or stories behind how certain tracks ended up on the Radio 2 playlist.
He hosted plenty of private events away from the mic including the British Cababa wards
where his warm presenting style went down a treat.
