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.
Chris recreated the childhood toe-wiggling rhyme Scott had somehow missed, using a socially distanced litter picker before Jura and Aaron fooled almost everyone on Brother or Lover. [...]
Scott and Chris imagined Lynette judging global politicians while Newquay prepared for the G7 summit and the quiz tested nursery rhymes adults had somehow forgotten. [...]
A friend tried to catch her own poo with toilet paper in a public cubicle, dropped it and watched it roll under the door into the communal area. [...]
Laura's Halloween props looked so realistic that a frightened shopper called the police, while Scott and Chris opened the VIP section to listeners with their very best stories. [...]
Premium-listener candidate Darren tried to save money by waxing his own “bacon, lettuce and tomato” area and ended up sticky for days with almost none of the hair removed. [...]
Lynette rejected names including OAP-E and OnlyGrans for her proposed exercise podcast before returning to the serious business of swiping through Zofia's Tinder. [...]
Easy Life listened back to their first Live Lounge and immediately shouted “mistake” at themselves, while Rob finally landed a bakery job after six weeks of applications. [...]
Listeners kept congratulating Scott and Chris on their newly won award despite repeated requests to “stop it”, while Chris's first vaccine apparently gave him the power to identify which jab strangers had received. [...]
Lynette had to cut short her Tinder judging to make a hearing appointment, while a Maya Jama Big Weekend rumour went into Real or No Real and Bangers travelled to Crieff. [...]
Radio 1 listeners with professions including jewellery-making and traditional crafts challenged Scott and Chris to identify their “medieval” jobs, before the quiz asked the surprisingly difficult question of whether dogs have eyebrows. [...]
