Chris Stark
Chris Stark was Scott Mills' co-host on BBC Radio 1 from 2012 to 2022. He was discovered DJing in Southampton, and became half of one of Radio 1's best-loved double acts until the pair's final show in August 2022. He now co-presents Capital Breakfast with Jordan North and Sian Welby. Here's every show and moment we've written up featuring Chris.
