Scott Mills invited to Gareth from Chard's wedding

A CHARD man who became a celebrity on BBC Radio when he was looking for love has finally met his match.

Gareth Smith, 26, a former Holyrood School pupil, found fame in 2006 when he won the One Night with Laura competition on the Scott Mills show on BBC Radio One.

Gareth, who now lives in America, beat off thousands of competitors to win the title. Unfortunately the romance with show producer Laura Sayers was short lived and didn’t go beyond the first date in Disneyland Paris.

But the former Air Control Solutions employee has now found love in Tennessee and is due to marry in September.

He met his American bride-to-be Meghan Campbell-Smith in New Zealand while travelling two years ago and moved out to America to live with her about a year ago.

Gareth was mentioned once again on the Scott Mills show yesterday morning (August 9) as his sister Hayley texted in to the station’s Dear Scott feature.

Hayley, 22, asked Scott if he wanted to come along to the wedding for a Tennessee-style ho-down. The News has sent a message to the show this morning campaigning for him to fly out.

Hayley, said: “We’re hopeful Scott is going to come – we’re going to send him out an invitation.”

Scott didn’t rule out attending and asked on air to be sent more details of the wedding. While Gareth is currently unaware of the attention he is getting back home Hayley is sure he would be happy to see Scott again.

Hayley added: “Gareth got on very well with him when he was on the show.”

I can't help thinking this story is so last season, you know. All this stuff (while v. entertaining at the time) is long over.

*yawns* My headache is beginning to worsen today, I swear.

Lily allen discussions in the R1 section, and now this... somebody pass me the f****** paracetamol.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

OF COURSE! You're going to see their one man shows??? Autographs from all please, including my name.

Wtf? Drink? Is there a drink? Oh jeez. I think T is going to bring me back a singed pic of him. thats what he gave me last year... :(

Have you never watched Gavin & Stacey?

'Would you like a tea or coffee, ____?

'Oh, I'll have half each please.'

'What?'

'Tea in the bottom half, coffee in the top. I call it a key. Or a toffee. But you can't ask for that in a cafe, because they just give you a toffee. Or a key.'

Me (Doris), Ermentrude, Babs and Leonard have regular meeting, drinking toffee/keys & eating fudge. (: (In our minds anyway.) It's rather joyful, Leonard often sits outside my house in a yellow/orange body suit, drinking toffee/key, whilst I watch The Bill.

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

NOOOOOO!

Btw, I do not wear stolen heels. I prefer pumps...

Leonard is a quite nice, very religous boy with a terrible taste in music, I have never met. Ermentrude fancies him. I have no chance.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
