Inside Scott Mills' relationship turmoil as he didn't speak to husband for six months

Scott Mills hit a stumbling block during his relationship with husband Sam Vaughan and refused to speak to him for six months after he was left 'devastated'. This week, the broadcaster, 51, was announced as the new host of the legendary Radio 2 Breakfast Show. He's taken over from Zoe Ball, who has decided to step down after six years. Scott said he is "beyond excited" to fill her shoes and follow his "lifelong dream" on the programme.
It's been a monumental year for Scott, who won BBC One's Celebrity Race Across the World with his other half, Sam before they joyfully tied the knot. The couple had an intimate Spanish wedding in June last year with a star-studded guest list, including Pixie Lott, Rylan, Calvin Harris and Joel Corry.
But the pair weren't always besotted with each other - in the early days, Sam was unconvinced that Scott was 'The One'. Scott previously revealed that Sam stepped back from their relationship after having doubts, and it broke the radio presenter's heart - but he tried to keep it cool.
"The more time we spent together, the more I could see we were right for each other. I just needed him to see that too," he told The Times. "So when we had the conversation about taking it forward and he said, 'I'm not ready', I was devastated." It put an end to their long-distance romance.
Scott would regularly travel to Wales and Sam to London, but suddenly they stopped talking. "Being friends with someone you're in love with doesn't work," Scott admitted. "We didn't speak for six months." During that time, he drowned his sorrows with ice cream on the sofa.
