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.
A badly hungover Chris argued that domestic rows should wait until the hangover passes, while Scott confessed he had become addicted to small Amazon deliveries arriving like miniature Christmas presents. [...]
Chris claimed Scott suddenly stood straighter and spoke differently around his Strictly friends, while listeners celebrated tiny achievements and Bangers reached a caller living somewhere effectively COVID-free. [...]
Chris's awful fantasy-football form prompted mock demands for his resignation, while Scott and Chris turned forgotten Netflix logins, shared accounts and an unreturned Xbox into a post-breakup checklist. [...]
Dev and Chris sent fresher Aaron into Oxford University to find out whether students knew Primark, wore old-money salmon trousers and really had “butlers” waiting in the toilets. [...]
Yungblud laughed through a self-review of his Cardigan Live Lounge, while listener Sophie admitted an unforgettable toilet accident on a school coach in France. [...]
Dev's first afternoon covering Scott included a disastrous Ibiza party-bus confession, two rounds of The Who Game and 79-year-old Dave politely asking his Sky Q remote to find Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. [...]
The planned finale of Diary of a Fresher collapsed when Heather slept through more than 20 calls, while David Attenborough gathered hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers almost instantly. [...]
Scott and Chris urged listeners to keep looking after one another as restrictions tightened again, before giving Heather an alarming list of drinking games for her third day at university. [...]
Hannah Reid reluctantly listened back to London Grammar's Live Lounge while Heather decorated her Newcastle room, worked out her social bubble and continued the show's pandemic fresher diary. [...]
Heather's first call from halls was interrupted by a fire alarm as Scott and Chris began documenting what university life looked like when Freshers' Week was dominated by bubbles and restrictions. [...]
