Isn't that interesting? I mean, Scott is gay, and has been "out" for ever, so its not exactly news - but the one thing I have always thought was that he doesn't actually sound remotely "gay" in the classic (stereotype?) sense, not at all! I don't like stereotypes, so I've always rather treasured that about Scott!

Is it just me? Does everyone else think that Scott "sounds gay" (whatever the hell that means?)?

Scott's orientation has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of his show and no bearing on him as a person. It's good to find someone in the media that doesn't bombard you with his/her sexual orientation, I agree...

And it was ages before I 'found out' - probably after more than a year of listening. It makes no difference at the end of the day.

I wouldn't necessarily agree that it has "no bearing on him as a person" - surely all our different characteristics define who we are, our sexuality being one of them? And all these things feed in to our personalities - and Scott's personality is what makes the show what it is, so you can't say that his sexuality has no bearing. Don't know about you, but my sexuality is absolutely crucial to who I am! But I agree with what I think you actually mean ,which I think is that to take his orientation out of the context of his whole self, and judge his show on that basis alone, is irrelevant and inappropriate.

i also didn't know he was gay until a good few months after i started listening to him. i was a little stunned when i found out but admire the fact that he isn't trying to be the stereotype and dosent say "cooey!" after the first two records. i have started to pick up little tips though after i found out.

nah i dont care he's still good, it dosent make any difference. wouldn't of made any difference to me if he was straight to be honest.

on the grid.

Sorry to drag this up from the depths, someone has edited his wikipedia again:

"Scott Mills (born 28 March 1974 in Southampton, Hampshire) -but is an avid Portsmouth fan - and is a British DJ currently on Radio 1. The Scott Mills Show airs Monday-Friday 4:00pm-7:00pm. He is also the holiday cover presenter for The Chris Moyles Show and the Official Chart Show."

"Aged 12, Mills began presenting hospital radio. At, 15 he was presenting university radio in Southampton <SUP>[1]</SUP> - despite this unfortunate start, he is still a Hampshire based radio station, Power FM, where he was given a trial to present a week of shows."

"Proving popular with listeners, he later presented other slots, including the Chart Show countdown of the top 40 <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com><st1:City w:st=Portsmouth </st1:City>fan through and through. Scott's first professional radio job was at

See that's boring when people comically edit it and it's not funny

Also did you see this edit: "Added the S Mills & Radio 1 fansite's a must look at for all BBC & S Mills fans.Keeps on getting deleted so I keep on adding it & will continue to add it until its permanantly on. Stop deleting the WEBSITES I PUT ON JONO OR I'LL DO SOMETHING YOU WILL REGRET"

Me and Coolmark (who has been keeping the page in check as well) will keep an eye on it

This coolmark person sent me message via wikipedia telling to stop editing it with nonsense when infact I was the one correcting the stuff that other people had wrote!

take control

I never knew Scott was gay - and besides it doesn't influence the quality of his show. It is his choice and he's happy that way so it shouldn't be a problem.

But a gay man who smokes!!! I've never heard of that or seen it.

Have I been stuck in my own world for years?

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
