Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jono]

<h3>Scott answered some questions for The Mills Pages on Radio 1's website.</h3> <center><p><b>Favourite places in the world?</b>

London, Ibiza, Miami, New York.

<B>What did you want to be when you were a kid?</B>

A Radio 1 DJ, until I told my careers advisor at school- he wet himself laughing - and when I got a rejection letter I got from Radio 1 in 1993 telling me to 'go away' and stop sending tapes or I'd end up on the pest pile.

<B>How do you spend your nights off?</B>

Nights off? Don't have those … up at 2am. When I do - which is Saturday, I find it's rude to be in before 6am.

<B>What's the biggest fallacy about yourself?</B>

That I'm "too nice - probably never even had a hangover" - Sky Magazine - May'99.

<B>What do you think is your greatest achievement?</B>

Anchoring Love Parade 2000. That was the most amazing day. So looking forward to this year, it's going to be even better. The first time presenting Top of the Pops was also fantastic.

<B>If it wasn't for...</B> those photos I have of the controller I wouldn't be working at Radio 1.

<B>In the movie of your life who'd play you?</B>

Josh Hartnett. Obviously, we have similar sultry, sexy, good looks. Not.

<B>What or Who has inspired you musically?</B>

Kurt Cobain.

<B>What's your favourite club/venue?</B>

Fabric, London

<B>What's the best gig you've ever been to?</B>

Gatecrasher Summer Sound System. Madonna in London would have been if I could get a ticket.

<B>Which type of music do you absolutely hate to listen to?</B>

Dull R & B, crap low rent pop, Ricky Martin and Euro-Trance.

<B>What would you most like to be remembered for?</B>

My great hair.

<B>Happiness is...</B>

Sunset at Mambo, Ibiza.

<B>Have you ever been ashamed of you behaviour? What happened?</B>

Yes. It involved me being very sick while drunk, a takeaway curry in a bag, and

a friend who was too drunk to know what they were really eating when they got

home. I never told them.

<B>If you could get away with murder who would you kill?</B>

Murder? I don' think MURDER anyone. Oh alright then, Anthea Turner. And I'd shoot Les Dennis in the leg - don't want to kill him. Just hurt him a bit. And if there's any bullets left - Jenny McCarthy.

<B>In one word how would your best friend describe you?</B>

Elusive.

<B>On a scale of 1 - 10, how much do you care what other people think of you?</B>

9 and a half. But even that's less than a year ago. I'm caring less every day.

<B>When did you first fall in love?</B>

At 14. At a youth club. We fell in love to the sounds of Jason Donovan! How romantic.

<B>What's an instant turn-off for you?</B>

People who are too forward (!) and people who are arrogant.

<B>What are you attracted to the most?</B>

Normality. People who like me because I'm ME, and not for what I do. I try and

stay away from them. Not easy in this industry!!

<B>How far have you gone to get the attention of a person you've found

attractive?</B>

I remember developing stalker like tendencies at one stage. Waiting outside

their house and pretending to "just be passing by" when they came out. Which started to become an unlikely coincidence after the first three or four times.

<B>What's the worst thing about you as a boyfriend/girlfriend?</B>

Grumpy and sensitive when tired - to the point where you can say NOTHING right - I'll just shoot you down in flames. And I make funny noises in the night.

<B>Down the pub or down a club?</B>

A Club

<B>Big Brother or Survivor?</B>

I have no interest in Survivor, but I am hooked on Big Brother. Total voyeurism!

<B>Party Animal or Boring Git?</B>

Both, depending on how many hours sleep I've had.

<B>Peral Harbour or Pulp Fiction?</B>

I would rather stick needles in my eyes than watch 'Pearl Harbour'. A total

waste of three hours of my precious time which I could have used for sleeping. I

did after the first 30 minutes anyway.

<B>CK or C & A?</B>

You've seen my wardrobe then?? No-has to be CK

<B>Lager, Lager, Lager or G'n'T, ice and a slice</B>

Lager Export - None of that stuff that tastes of wee

<B>What's your best feature?</B>

Eyes. They're very blue. I like them - almost makes up for my crap legs and

funny feet</P></center>
