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.
Armed with Chris's crib sheet, Scott pretended to be an England football expert on one of Germany's biggest radio stations and still managed to mention Joachim Löw's notorious finger-sniffing. [...]
Scott celebrated his jab by shopping in Iceland, bought a £1.99 rubber cover which could not replace Chris's missing charging case and then completely misread lovers Ben and Matt as brothers. [...]
Lynette resumed swiping after prioritising her neighbours, Chris mourned a missing AirPods charging case and Don't Look It Up invented an extremely plausible magazine cover for Jack Saunders. [...]
Lynette became unavailable for the first time in a year because she was socialising with neighbours, while lockdown couples explained whether moving in together after only weeks had ended in love or disaster. [...]
Griff immediately picked apart her first one-take Live Lounge, while a football-song roulette wheel denied an England fan Vindaloo and the quiz uncovered a real Glasgow pub called The Muscular Arms. [...]
Scott discovered WhatsApp voice notes could play faster, sped up his conversations with Chris and then heard from Scarlett, whose former fling resurfaced after years with late-night feelings. [...]
Sixteen-year-old Eve surprised her form tutor to thank him for being a father figure through two disrupted school years, leaving teacher and pupil emotional on air. [...]
Scott and Chris embraced “working from garden”, used Eurovision songs as football goal stings and asked Lynette whether football was finally coming home. [...]
Lauren forgot to unpack the corsets, suspenders and travel whip from her first couples' holiday before her boyfriend's parents borrowed the suitcase for their own trip. [...]
Cattle genetics adviser Robin returned with the promised bull catalogue, letting Scott and Chris browse breeding statistics and treat farm matchmaking like a particularly serious dating app. [...]
