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 preserved door handles for fingerprints and screen-grabbed everyone on his video doorbell as suspects, only for his wife to remember the “stolen” laptop had been taken upstairs. [...]
Joel Corry and RAYE were forced to critique themselves while the adrenaline was still fresh, as Scott also wondered whether Bruno Mars had become a parody of Bruno Mars. [...]
Emma's apparent Tom Hanks encounter fell apart under questioning, while Chris gave Scott a bath board engraved with Tyrone Mings' “relax” and the show found somebody even more obsessed with extra brass. [...]
Rachel's lost Rome holiday was recreated with horns, terrible Italian accents and imaginary landmarks, before Jack Whitehall's dad revisited the story of where Jack was conceived. [...]
The familiar “someone's knocking at the door” advert turned out to use a real Wings song, while Granny Tinder learned about foam parties and Radio 1 investigated the strange fashion for nude candles. [...]
The newly reopened Radio 1 toilets generated an actual news story after Chris's microphone stayed live during his ceremonial wee, while Lorna explained the strange experience of a Zoom speed-awareness course. [...]
Chris finally held a number-one trophy for the Wellerman remix he helped set in motion, while Scott was blamed for Olivia Rodrigo's chart drop and ceremonially opened Radio 1's refurbished toilets. [...]
Line of Duty's Adrian Dunbar transformed drivers license and Don't Start Now into police interrogations, while Scott and Chris tried to remember what going to a gig actually involved. [...]
Lynette received an actual response from the BBC Director-General after lobbying for Chris to appear on Celebrity MasterChef, while Chris admitted he had never smuggled a budgie. [...]
Scott admitted friends' casual vaccination texts were making him jealous, before memories of Greek fried cheese, Radio 1's toilet refurbishment and Tyrone Mings' Lolathon advice filled an unusually wide-ranging show. [...]
