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.
Henry landed in Scott and Chris's imaginary Sydney and met an aggressively Australian local, while Laura Whitmore mixed from her unfinished garden bar and explained lockdown life with Iain Stirling. [...]
Listener Henry's cancelled Australian holiday was rebuilt from Gatwick check-in onwards, complete with an absurdly thorough security search, while Mo Gilligan DJed from his sofa and Chris guided Cardiff after dark. [...]
Mel C proved she really could DJ from home, while Matt Tancock explained life with a name one letter away from the Health Secretary and Chris offered Hull patty butties, Bransholme and The Deep as tourism essentials. [...]
Niall Horan broadcast from his immaculate bathroom alongside robot vacuum Robert, while listeners claimed lockdown glow-ups and Chris reopened his very unofficial guide to the Isle of Man. [...]
An archive double bill followed Chris from an unsuccessful Batman arena audition to his homemade reality series It's Chris, complete with Duggsy's shaky camerawork and an awkward BBC commissioning meeting. [...]
With Scott and Chris off for the week, the podcast reopened a gloriously wet Innuendo Bingo in which Greg James and Chris dressed as animals and tried not to spit water over each other at honey bushes, seven-inch records and suspicious garden advice. [...]
Luke T and Siânnise Fudge supplied a lockdown mix after spending almost no time apart since leaving Love Island, while Scott decided he might actually look cuter in lockdown and the archive replayed Chris’s life-changing Mila Kunis interview. [...]
Gemma Collins became a domestic goddess in quarantine and supplied diva anthems from Essex, while Radio 1 found a zookeeper isolating with penguins, red pandas and donkeys and revisited whether Chris’s wife would have swiped right. [...]
England cricket captain Joe Root DJed from his mancave, explained sledging to Scott and Chris, Dickie returned with his infectious laugh and JC Stewart discovered Jennifer Aniston had shared his quarantine Friends parody. [...]
Scott ranked former boyfriends with anonymous pros and cons, replayed Jennifer Aniston deliberately destroying Chris in an interview and watched Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall turn disinfectant spray into a kitchen CO2 cannon. [...]
