The Scott Mills Show was built on a tight-knit production team. Some were heard every day. Some were barely heard at all. All of them helped make the show what it was. Here’s everyone who sat behind those desks.
On-air team
Co-host · Radio 1 (2012–2022)
Chris Stark
The everyday lad from Watford who Scott spotted DJing in Southampton. Responsible for Superfan Steve, 24 Years at the Tap End, and the Mila Kunis interview that broke the internet.
Sports reporter · Radio 1 (1999–2009)
Chappers
Mark Chapman joined as a Newsbeat sportsreader and never really left — until he went to be serious for a living on Christmas Eve 2009. Now presents Match of the Day.
Assistant Producer · Radio 1 (2008–2013)
Beccy Huxtable
From Taunton via Bournemouth, Beccy brought BeccyCam, Beccy’s Classifieds, and Beccy Raps to the show. Left in January 2013, going out on a full Korean-language Gangnam Style.

Newsbeat presenter · Radio 1 (1998–2008)
Georgina Bowman
George read the news, gave away spoilers, became confused about Wendy Richards, and had her 6.30 Entertainment News script read out before she could get to it. A Radio 1 institution.

Tina Daheley
From the Chris Moyles Show to Nick Grimshaw to Zoe Ball to Scott Mills — Tina has been the voice of the news on Radio 1 and Radio 2 breakfast for over a decade. Also a familiar face on BBC News, BBC Breakfast, and Crimewatch.
