Laura
Laura Sayers was Broadcast Assistant on Scott Mills' BBC Radio 1 show from 2002 to 2008, having joined through a BBC traineeship. She is now a commissioning executive at BBC Radio 2. Here are all our write-ups featuring Laura.
Scott and Laura debut their romantic fiction project under the pen name 'Stephanie Black', with the team dramatising excerpts from their novel 'A Long Hot Summer' — complete with Chopper's distinctive accents bringing the steamy scenes to life. [...]
Scott is baffled by his cleaner's behaviour and enlists the team's help to decode what her body language might mean — a conversation that quickly spirals into increasingly absurd analysis of where her legs were pointing. [...]
Hypnotist Paul McKenna visits the studio to offer advice on everything from helping Laura con her boyfriend into marriage to overcoming fear of flying, while Scott's investigation into Craig David's romantic methods reveals the star uses singing oompa loompa telegrams to woo women. [...]
Scott, Chappers, and Laura compete to keep a Sun newspaper journalist on the phone longest while pitching increasingly outlandish celebrity scoops, and the mystery of the "Scariest Movie of All Time" deepens with hints that it might involve Scott in the nude. [...]
Scott conducts a scientific (if chaotic) experiment to discover how many chocolate liqueurs it takes to push someone over the drink-drive limit, with willing volunteer Laura as test subject. [...]
Konnie Huq joins Scott to discuss Greg James's relentless early-morning phone calls, a Blue Peter appeal for Barnardo's, and the revelation that a former Blue Peter presenter has become a drag queen named Stella. [...]
Scott challenges the entire team to acquire a love bite by the start of the next show, leading to hilarious debate about Hoover suction and squash-ball alternatives. Plus: an unlikely Eminem impersonator from BBC Radio Stoke. [...]
Laura's obsessed with a new BBC3 wedding show where a groom picks his bride's dress without her input — and it goes about as well as you'd expect. Plus the Flirt Divert answer phone returns with more awkward dating messages. [...]
A chaotic birthday special featuring Chappers and Laura's on-air celebration, complete with Laura's ultimatum for an engagement ring by 10 a.m., an uninvited Louis Walsh phoning in, and special guest Mel C attempting to navigate an awkward reunion with her longtime manager. [...]
Scott's afternoon team launches "Treadmill Trivia," a quiz where contestants run on a treadmill that speeds up with every wrong answer — with predictably chaotic results when both Chopper and Laura take it on. [...]
