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.
Welsh rugby legend Shane Williams coached Scott through Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau before Scott performed it live, while Kelly discovered her parents believed she was conceived on a large footstool. [...]
Scott continued learning Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, Katherine Ryan got soaked in Innuendo Bingo and Mary’s cockerel was finally named Jeffrey after Harriet nominated her cheating father. [...]
After losing his temper on a train over exploding Coke, Scott committed to supporting Wales against Ireland and Chris challenged him to learn Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau properly before Saturday. [...]
Scott and Chris returned still overwhelmed by the £250,000-plus LOLathon total, continued nominations for Mary’s cockerel and met Josh “The Provider” Weller, a ranked British air guitarist. [...]
Around the halfway point, Scott and Chris sat outside in the dark and briefly broke down from tiredness before returning for the late-night rude section with Unexpected Fluids and stories daytime Radio 1 could never normally tell. [...]
Jack Whitehall, John Newman and Nick Grimshaw joined the overnight fundraiser before Megan Barton Hanson faced a deliberately extra-rude Innuendo Bingo and Fyre Festival’s Andy King explained what “taking one for the team” really meant. [...]
As daylight finally returned, Scott and Chris tested “silly things at silly o’clock”, donated when comedy clips genuinely made them laugh and played Homes Under The Hammer’s literal-music game with Clara Amfo. [...]
Sharon Horgan joined the final 90 minutes before Scott and Chris crossed the 24-hour finish line, thanked the entire Radio 1 team and learned the Comic Relief total had passed £250,000. [...]
Scott and Chris started their 24-hour Comic Relief broadcast at 1pm with jokes collected around Britain and Ireland, Belfast six-year-old Edward contributing the road trip’s final knock-knock joke and Dr Alex supplying doctor humour. [...]
Muff welcomed Chris, the Book of LOL and a full scuba outfit before the route finished at Belfast’s Giant’s Ring with another Stark History lesson and a race to catch the flight home. [...]
