<center><h2> Scott talks about kissing Moyles, being drunk on air and taking over the Breakfast Show</h2></center>

<p><b>You've never been more popular. There must be offers coming in for you all the time. Would you quit Radio 1?</b>

No - not even for loads of money. I feel like I'm on a bit of a roll right now. The last 18 months have been incredible and the best of my life. Everyone loves the show but there was a time that I was thinking of leaving. A while back all I was doing was getting up at 3am so I didn’t feel like I was going anywhere. I went off the rails for about a year, I would arrive late and so on for early breakfast and I nearly got sacked because I didn’t turn up once. It wasn’t major but Radio 1 were pretty p*ssed off.

<b>So when are you taking over the Breakfast show – it’s the big one everyone wants?</b>

I don’t want to do breakfast. I love doing it for two weeks at a time but if I did it all the day I would be under so much pressure. For a start you have to get up early and I did that for five years on early breakfast and also if you fail, then you ’re off. I don’t think you can go anywhere once you've done the Radio 1 Breakfast show. It’s the finale. I want to stay at Radio 1 for as long as possible because I've got one of the best shows right now.

<b>How about doing more TV?</b>

Radio is more fun and it’s more instant. If I think of an idea down the pub at night I can put it in the show the next day.

<b>Have you ever wanted a sneaky meet with any of the people who leave messages on Flirt Divert?</b>

No way - because that’s the point of Flirt Divert! Some sound hot but there must be something fundamentally wrong with their personality.

<b>You’ve said a lot of the music you play wasn’t up to much. Who do you actually like at the moment?</b>

The Arctic Monkeys. Six months a go no-one had heard of them an d now they're huge. Radio 1 can help build a band like and I like to see that.

<b>You do a lot of student gigs up and down the country so must come into contact with a lot of mad up for it fans. Any saucy tales?</b>

I’m getting rather annoyed because when I do gigs it’s just crazy. I get women offering me all sorts and students are just wasted all the time. There was a guy once who ripped his shirt off and had his number written on his body. What really !!!!es me off is when people come up to the DJ box, bang on the window and hand me their phone asking me to put my number in it. What am I suppose to say to that?

<b>Which one of these celebs would you date? Pete Burns, Chris Moyles or Barbara Windsor?</b>

Oh Chris Moyles definitely. I’ve kissed him before an d he loved it . He is also a very nice bloke and enjoys a good drink, like me. I think

Pete Burns is a horrible man and Barbara Windsor is far too old for me.

<b>Which celebrities really annoy you?</b>

George Galloway is a horrible man and I don’t really like CD:UK presenter Lauren Laverne. She slagged me off recently and I was like; why did you do that? - I ’m actually all right. I saw Craig Coates from Big Brother 6 on telly the other night and just wanted to slap him.

<b>What was your funniest moment ever at Radio 1?</b>

When Moyles turned up drunk while I was covering for Mark and Lard. He got a bit caught up with the excitement of the World Cup and had been to the pub. He had to be on air at three o'clock too.
