https://unofficialmills.co.uk/forums/index.php?/rss/1-latest-posts.xml/Latests posts on Unofficial MillsenJamie Laing’s appearances on Going Home  I am writing with concerns about the amount of time JamieLaing and to a lesser extent Vick Hope are absent from Radio 1 Going Home. Going Home is a major part of Radio 1 and is titled Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie. It is 4 days a week Monday-Thursday and deserves consistency. Jamie is away an awful lot, does not appear committed to the station in terms of his attendance and that his social media is geared solely towards his private projects and little mention of Radio 1 compared to the other presenters. I’m not against presenters having other private work but believe that having your name to such a show means that for most weeks you should be presenting your show most days the show is on. I appreciate presenters sometimes require extended time off for personal or other commitments but this should be the exception than the norm. I strongly believe that the current situation is far from satisfactory for the following reasons. 1. It is not fair on the listeners to have such a disrupted show not knowing who is on and it’s not fair on Katie to keep having to adjust to different cohosts 2. I dont believe it is fair on the current talent who live and breath radio who would be more committed to Radio 1 and I dare say at a better value show rate to license fee payers which in this day and age of cuts which I hate to see but understand is necessary.   Thank you for getting in touch with your complaint.

The piece includes comments from an anonymous former employee who alleges Moyles could be difficult to work with and created an uncomfortable atmosphere for some colleagues. It also references previously reported comments from Greg James, who wrote in his memoir that Moyles nicknamed him "the posh student" shortly after he joined Radio 1. The article also revisits comments made by former Breakfast Show sports presenter Tina Daheley. Speaking in 2018, Daheley said she was often the subject of jokes on air and felt uncomfortable with some of the treatment she received. She recalled that she "wouldn't have dreamed" of inviting her father into the studio environment and later praised Nick Grimshaw for helping to create a less hierarchical culture at Radio 1. Also referenced are Moyles' long-running on-air attacks on Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts and the controversial comments he made about Charlotte Church in the early 2000s. While the article doesn't contain allegations on the scale of those that have dominated recent BBC headlines, it argues that some former colleagues believe Moyles' behaviour was too often dismissed as "lad culture" at the time.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:25:29 +0000I still don't understand the rationale for not showing Scott Mills on Top of the Pops. John Peel is still shown, and he married a 15-year-old!Sun, 14 Jun 2026 10:26:21 +0000What are you listening to right now?Sat, 13 Jun 2026 14:13:34 +0000Why do people choose commercial radio? This isn’t meant as a criticism, more genuine curiosity. BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 still have huge listening figures between them, and obviously have the advantage of being advert-free. But commercial stations like Heart, Capital, Smooth, Absolute, Greatest Hits Radio and others are also incredibly popular. I’ve always wondered what makes people choose a station with adverts when there are BBC alternatives available. Is it the presenters? The music mix? The competitions? The local feel? The shorter links? The overall sound and branding? Or is it simply that stations like Heart and Capital are very good at giving people exactly what they want without too much clutter? But I’m interested in what actually drives the choice for listeners. Do adverts not really bother most people? Do commercial stations feel more accessible or less “BBC”? Or is it just habit, perhaps what’s on in the car, workplace, shop or kitchen? Would be interesting to hear from people who regularly choose commercial radio over the BBC. What makes you stick with it?Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:57:37 +0000Tony Livesy seems to have become the next Scott Mills, big BBC radio star now caught up in sex allegations. Doesn’t seem like it’s all over for him though, he’s strongly denying everything and they’ve only said he’s off his show for a short time.Tue, 09 Jun 2026 16:04:20 +0000Jordan North has spoken to The i about his move from Radio 1 to Capital, revealing that he was first approached about the role at a wedding. At the time, Capital Breakfast was hosted by Chris Stark, Sian Welby and Roman Kemp. North recalled: "Chris pulled me aside and told me Roman was leaving, and said, 'I think you should come over.'" He said: "When I was at the old place, we always had one eye on it." He then compared Capital to a football team on the rise: "It was like they were Man City, in that they were up and coming, then dominating things, and everyone was copying their style." And added: "I remember tuning in and thinking, 'These guys know what they're doing.'" Two years on, Jordan says he has "absolutely no regrets" about leaving the BBC and joining Capital, where he cites the "genuine friendship" between himself, Chris Stark and Sian Welby as a major reason for enjoying the show. He also addressed the BBC's recent controversies, admitting there was some relief in moving away from the spotlight surrounding the corporation: "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't." However, he was quick to defend his former employer: "I'll always defend the BBC to the hilt. I think we need a strong BBC for everyone." Jordan added that while the scrutiny could be intense, he understands the challenges facing the corporation: "Having been there, I know you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. But yeah, I'm glad to be out of that scrutiny." Elsewhere in the interview, he spoke about his friendship with Chris Stark and Sian Welby, his occasional struggles with a low "social battery", and his belief that radio needs more working-class voices on air.Sun, 07 Jun 2026 18:40:11 +0000Scott Mills will sue the BBC https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/scott-mills-sue-bbc-over-37166417#google_vignetteSat, 16 May 2026 18:01:47 +0000Hi My name is David, I've been listening to the radio since I was 6 in 1989 and I was very grateful to get the chance to interview OJ a few months back just before all the Mills stuff was kicking off. I'm only just getting round to promoting it - he could be the next teatime host but who knows? He loves his current slot.

A lot of speculation that it might be Rylan. I would be very disappointed in this decision as maybe selfish of me I would rather a radio person got the gig. I am personally not a fan of him. I will say the same for Romesh and Emma keep them all on Saturday it probably suits them all too. OJ seems the natural choice always been the go to cover and seems popular with most of the audience. I guess the issue will be he probably wants to host it from Salford? I guess this could cause delays in any announcement. Ritchie Anderson? Not for me but if they go with OJ they may put him on the over night shows? Spoony? Think he is settled with the Good Groove so don't see it and think he may need a side kick for TeaTime? Greg James? Surely not? But if he is loyal.to the BBC and they make him an offer he can't refuse it could happen? Curve Balls- Roman Kemp, anyone from a rival station? I think they could go down a duo route like Hits and Heart and to some extent Radio 1. So what's everyone's thoughts on this? Who have I missed?Mon, 27 Apr 2026 12:00:33 +0000The BBC have confirmed Sara Cox is taking over from Scott Mills, with her show launching in the summer. https://www.instagram.com/p/DXecukajHx8/?img_index=1Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:28:26 +0000How come some non-playlist songs (e.g. Stormzy - Vossi Bop, which I think I've heard 4 out of the last 5 days) are played alot more than others (e.g. Normani - Motivation, similar time, yet, although played alot after it's time on the playlist, has seemingly suddenly stopped being played)?Sat, 18 Apr 2026 20:49:54 +0000Would you listen to Scott creating his own station?
