BBC Radio 2 has confirmed that Scott Mills will be the new presenter of the legendary Breakfast Show, after Zoe Ball announced she is stepping down after six years
Scott Mills is set to take over the iconic Radio 2 Breakfast Show, moving from his current afternoon slot of 2pm to 4pm. This follows Zoe Ball's on-air announcement that she will be stepping down after six years, but will remain with the station.
He concluded by saying: "It really is a lifelong dream come true to follow in the footsteps of Sir Terry, Chris and Zoe to be the new presenter of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show." After six years on the programme, Zoe, 53, expressed her readiness to leave behind the early morning starts, desiring a more leisurely lifestyle and more time with her family. She announced her departure to listeners just after 8am today, mentioning she will remain with Radio 2, though her new show's details are to be disclosed in the New Year.
"My last show will be on Friday December 20, just in time for Christmas with plenty of fun and shenanigans. While I'm stepping away from the Breakfast Show, I'm not disappearing entirely – I'll still be a part of the Radio 2 family, with more news in the New Year. I'm excited to embrace my next chapter, including being a mum in the mornings, and I can't wait to tune in on the school run.
