In January, Scott Mills, who previously took over Zoe Ball’s Breakfast Show, admits that he “never anticipated this opportunity.”

Scott Mills may have spent the weekend at Radio 2 in the Park, but it wasn’t long ago that he thought his primetime career was over. The DJ took over the station’s Breakfast Show from Zoe Ball in January – and admits it was something he “never expected to be offered”.

He says, “I feel like this at this time in my life, especially when many people think you’re done with this business.” “It’s wonderful to have a little upsurge in my career,” he says. I didn’t anticipate getting this, but it seems appropriate at the time. The time of my life is just right.

Scott and his husband, producer Sam Vaughan, appeared in BBC reality show, Celebrity Race Across the World last year. As part of the programme, which saw four famous couples race across South America on a budget, contestants had to hand over their phones and switch off from everyday life – which Scott says changed how he handles his day job.

He claims that while taking over from Zoe was a lot of work, I can now turn it off in a way I’ve never been able to before. I gave my phone five weeks of care, which is the best thing I’ve ever done. At the time, I didn’t feel that way, but when I could get my phone back, I didn’t want it.

“Race Across the World has massively helped me go back to primetime radio and be able to enjoy it.” Scott reckons that going on the show has helped him establish a better work-life balance. He reveals: “I used to be obsessed with work and my phone but I can now go away with my husband and switch off, and I don’t care about what’s going on. Work is madder than ever, but outside of work, I have balance.”

Former Radio 1 DJ Scott says his transition to Radio 2 was smooth. “It’s all my old mates – Vernon Kay, Sara Cox, Jo Whiley, Trevor Nelson … it is like going back home. It’s hilarious that all the pop stars I interviewed on Radio 1 that I haven’t seen for years I’m now interviewing on Radio 2. It feels like 2002 again.”

“I’m in such a fantastic position right now in my life. My life is the best I can be. I’m much more relaxed and energized. There is nothing more I want than a house, a husband, and a dog.

This comes after Scott revealed he is finally ‘financially secure’ and has ‘made it’ after he took over the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show after Zoe Ball left the post. Scott, 51, took over the position in January from Zoe, who left to focus on her family.

Opening up about his career and his new ability to say ‘no’ to work, after missing sleep for jobs, Scott told The Telegraph : “For the first time, I really do believe in myself. You have to look at the facts. They’ve put you on the breakfast show, you must be doing something right.”

He recently admitted to doing “too much” work, occasionally with the intention of risking his own health. Scott remarked on his hectic career, “I was working way too much because I had this idea that you never know when it might end.” My schedule for playing in student unions was one freshmen’s week: Monday: Aberdeen, Tuesday: Glasgow, and Wednesday: Edinburgh.

While Scott said he ‘enjoyed’ taking every opportunit y he got for two decades, ‘life is different now’ and he ‘doesn’t want to’ do that anymore. Last month, Scott opened up to the Mirror about the hard work that goes into the show and that Zoe gave him a warning when he took over the job, but he still describes it as his ‘happy place’.

He asserted that the program is labor-intensive. Every day there is a treadmill. When Zoe finished, she said, “Look, doing breakfast on Radio 2 is quite a lot.” You have to be on, and it’s quite strenuous.

He continued, “She was right. The number of guests we have is increasing constantly. I was like, “I’m ready,” when she said it to me. And I’m at my happy place, too.

The Mail previously reported that Scott took a small pay rise for presenting the show, however, it was significantly less than his predecessor, Zoe. While it is reported that Scott is earning approximately £450,000 a year, Zoe was reportedly on £950,000.

Lady Marina Windsor, the granddaughter of the Duchess of Kent, has paid a moving tribute to the royal by sharing previously unreleased photos. The Duchess passed away at the age of 92, according to Buckingham Palace earlier this week. The Duke and Duchess of Kent, along with Lady Marina, 32, resided at Wren House in Kensington Palace, the daughter of George, Earl of St Andrews, and Sylvana, Countess of St Andrews.

The royal said, “Rest in peace, my amazing and beloved Amama, we will miss and love you forever. We will send lots of love to all,” in a statement on Instagram.

Kerry Katona and Katie Price have been friends for years and both appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2004. They are going on a tour this weekend.

Long-time pals Katie Price and Kerry Katona have known each other from more than two decades. As well as being “best friends,” the two reality TV stars have worked together on several projects over the years since they first met.

As their most recent joint venture, Katie, 47, and Kerry, 44, are currently touring together tonight. They are expected to share their lives, and questions about them are being promised during the shows.

This evening, Katie and Kerry’s An Evening in Fleetwood opens. Before moving on to Camberley in November, the tour will then travel to locations like Lincoln, Swansea, and Oldham.

We’ve looked back at their friendship ahead of the national tour. In addition to providing insight into their relationship since their initial romantic relationship, there has also been much speculating about them.

The friendship between former glamour model Katie and former Atomic Kitten member Kerry, who both launched their careers in the 1990s, is said to date back to 2004. They appeared as campmates on I’m A Celebrity that year, as did singer Peter Andre, whom Katie went on to marry.

Kerry ended up winning the ITV show and remained close with Katie after they had left the jungle. She was even a bridesmaid at Katie’s wedding to her now ex-husband Peter in 2005 alongside Michelle Heaton and Sarah Harding.

There is however said to have been tension years later, with the pals reportedly embroiled in what was described as a “feud”. As previously reported, Katie was said to have called Kerry a “druggie” in 2007. According to the Daily Mail, Kerry, who has spokenly candidly about past drug use, later said that she had been in “denial” about having an “addiction” and began “slagging” Katie off after she had expressed concern.

Katie was said to have later been chosen as a bridesmaid for Kerry’s wedding to the late George Kay in 2014, whom she married following her split from Mark Croft. Kerry later said that she “wasn’t best pleased” when her pal dropped out on the day of the nuptials, though she assured that Katie did attend the wedding, just not as part of the bridal party.

In her memoir Kerry Katona: Whole Again, she remarked, “The morning wasn’t without its issues, but she pulled out as I was getting ready,” adding: “The morning wasn’t without her issues. Kerry acknowledged that Katie had just delivered her daughter Bunny, who is now 11 weeks old, but that she couldn’t remember the cause. She also claimed to be a “bridezilla” and that she was.

A few years later, it was reported that Katie and Kerry had “really become close again”. It was suggested that issues in their respective relationships with now exes Kieran Hayler and George had led them to bury the hatchet.

A source told the Sun in 2017: “Kerry and Katie drifted apart after their time in the jungle but have always kept in touch in a very loose way. […] They both live near each other in Sussex so it’s easy for them to see each other and they have become a regular fixture in each other’s lives again.”

The pals, whose children are said to be close friends, have since shared updates on their friendship. Kerry ruled out being a bridesmaid at Katie’s wedding to Carl Woods, which never went ahead, in 2022. She said that whilst they weren’t “bosom buddies,” they remained on good terms.

Kerry told the Daily Star: “I highly doubt [I’d be a bridesmaid] – I wish her all the best – but I’ve never met Carl. People have this impression that me and Katie are like bosom buddies, I live up north she lives down south. […] We may send the odd text every now and then but that’s about it.”

The following year, Katie hit out at rumours of a rift. As reported at the time, she Katie wrote on Instagram in 2023: “[Me and Kerry] will be friends forever nobody will tarnish our friendship, we will always support each other and if we really need help we are there for each other.”

Later that year, the pals were thought to have welcomed in the New Year together at Kerry’s home. Katie teased at the time that she was “single” after splitting from Carl and they were joined by some of their respective kids.

Since then, Katie and Kerry have appeared to be close, with the former sharing her pride over her pal at the end of last year. It came following Kerry’s split from her fiancé Ryan Mahoney, with her later praising Katie for her support amid working on a pantomime together. She said: “I want to say thank you to Katie because she has been an absolute lifesaver through all of this heartbreak and it’s been a massive distraction for me.” She went on to say: “The one thing I am learning is that I will never put my happiness in anybody’s hands ever again.”

Katie proudly read Kerry’s message on Katie’s Instagram page and expressed her pride in the title. She remarked, “I’m so proud of you and your strength,” about her pal. She continued, “They have so much” to look forward to as a “duo.”

Kerry revealed that Katie had been staying with her amid the pantomime production, sharing in her column for New! magazine, as reported by OK! at the time: “I’m feeling really grateful for Katie being here recently, I’ve been having a tough time since splitting from Ryan. It’s all felt overwhelming but she’s been supporting me throughout. It’s so nice to have someone who is in the industry and understands what I’m going through.”

They were then said to have spent Christmas together at Kerry’s home in Cheshire. Kerry shared a photo of them beside her five children and Katie’s eldest child Harvey Price, writing: “Merry Xmas from the Katona and Price household.”

More recently, in April this year, Kerry dismissed a rumour that the pals have a romantic relationship. Addressing claims that they were dating, she wrote in her New! column: “There’s a joke article going around Facebook that Katie Price and I are in a relationship, which I just want to confirm is definitely, definitely not true! I have no idea where it has come from but it’s quite hilarious, I’ve heard it all now.”

She made fun of her, saying, “We’re good friends, but I’m not sure our romantic relationship would work so well.” Additionally, I’ve never previously dated a woman. Although the direction my current dating relationship is taking, perhaps it’s worthwhile to consider.

Two months later, a source told the Mirror that they have had a “rocky” relationship in the past but “always” come back together in the end. The source said: “Katie and Kerry have fallen out many times before – there has been the odd feud – but they always come back together.”

Pete Wicks, a former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, has opened up about his friendship with Sam Thompson and one point that he wouldn’t back down on.

Podcaster and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Pete Wicks has disclosed he had to deliver a blunt four-word warning to podcast co-host Sam Thompson during their “silliest” argument

With their podcast “Keeping Relevant,” which has earned them legions of devoted followers, Pete, 36, and Sam, 33, have come to be one of the nation’s most adored bromances.

The duo has since begun chatting with famous people and will be presenting this year’s red carpet coverage at the National Television Awards.

Prior to this significant duty, they chatted to the Radio Times about their bond, which flourished after they encountered each other on Celebs Go Dating.

Their most absurd disagreement was one of the subjects they covered.

Pete unflinchingly said, “Sam attempted to decapitate me,” explaining how this happened.

Following Sam’s recollection that the episode took place during white-water rafting, Pete continued: “He went out of his way to throw me from the boat, made me stand up when he knew there was a wire across the river – All for Instagram.”

He continued, “Never do that again,” I told him. After the row, Sam confirmed that he had never had.

Sam and Pete’s friendship has been prominently displayed in 2025, especially as the former TOWIE star has been backing his friend through an unexpected separation from fellow Made In Chelsea alumnus Zara McDermott.

Sam, who recently completed a 260-mile run and cycle from London to Manchester for UNICEF, spoke to Closer about the support he received from his friends, including Pete.

He continued, “Everyone who has surprised me has been absolutely incredible.” I’m so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family around me.

I was in a very low mood when Pete and Ryan arrived, so they were right there when I needed them.

We couldn’t possibly be any more different, and that just works, so we (or more so Sam) jumped at the chance to combine our names, according to Pete, who also admitted to sharing his thoughts on their friendship with Twix. He’s ashamed that he didn’t consider it at first.

The best aspect of our duo is that we always have each other’s backs, Jokes aside, and you can’t ask for more.

According to research conducted by the University of Oxford’s Belonging Forum, one in ten UK adults report having no close friends, with men being slightly more likely to acknowledge this.

Kim Samuel, founder of the Belonging Forum, told the Independent about the survey results, they said: “If we want to build a world where everyone belongs, we must act now to tackle the growing crisis of loneliness and social isolation.

We are launching the first global Charter for Belonging, which will create long-lasting solutions to strengthen social connection, because “this requires decisive action across the public, private, and third sectors.”

Rylan Clark stole the show at Radio 2 in the Park with a surprise Grease duet despite receiving numerous Ofcom complaints for his comments about the asylum hotel.

Rylan Clark seemed unfazed by the recent controversy surrounding his comments on immigration as he stepped out in high spirits at Radio 2 in the Park on Friday.

The 36-year-old singer and presenter joined his long-time friend, 56, Michelle Visage. Summer Nights, a surprise duet between the pair, won over fans.

The performance came just days after Rylan faced a wave of backlash over remarks he made about the UK’s handling of asylum seekers – comments that went viral and social media and fuelled hundreds of Ofcom complaints.

The former X Factor star caused a stir after sharing his worries about how the asylum system is being handled during a political discussion on ITV’s This Morning.

Rylan stated in his opening statement, “This nation is built on legal immigration. You are aware that many of the nurses and doctors who have saved my mother’s life have traveled from abroad, are living in great conditions, are contributing to the growth of this nation, and are contributing to its prosperity.

He continued, “I find it absolutely insane that all these people, one risking their lives to cross the channel like that, they are only two, when they arrive, it does seem, and I think this is why many Labour voters are now sitting there hoping there is a problem here, it seems like “Welcome, Come on in.” We are being fed this narrative.

“Here’s the hotel, here’s the phones, here’s the iPad, here’s the NHS in reception of your hotel, here’s three meals a day, here’s a games room in the hotel. Have a lovely time and welcome,” Rylan added.

Rylan continued to express concern for those who are already residing in the UK, including veterans and rough sleepers. Additionally, there are those who have spent the majority of their lives here who are struggling.

“All of this, veterans, people who live on the streets. Let’s be honest, everyone will have a point about this, and you might cause some uproar from someone.

“I think there needs to be serious action in this area,” I say. We have no idea who these people are, what they’ve done, what they’re capable of, and obviously, we see a lot of it in the press right now: what some are doing, but it’s not all, what some are doing to people in this country.

Following the backlash, Rylan broke his silence on Instagram, saying, “You can be pro immigration and against illegal routes. You can support trans people and have the utmost respect for women.

“You can support gay rights while also being heterosexual. The list keeps growing. Stop putting everyone in a box exercise and start talking on Twitter without getting angry.
