SCOTT Mills flashed a smile as he arrived at the BBC Radio 2 studios for his first day hosting the Breakfast Show permanently. The former BBC Radio 1 anchor looked cheery amid his fresh start at the station - after popular broadcaster Zoe Ball revealed she was quitting last year.

Scott, 51, wore a trendy green jacket with a black striped trim around the wrists. He paired it with black jeans, a T-Shirt and trainers, carring a huge black duffle bag in his left hand. The fan-favourite presenter also clutched his BBC Radio 2 pass in his hand as he stood outside the White City Studios.

During his first show as permanent Breakfast host - after covering for Zoe on the eye-wateringly early programme a number of times - he vowed he would "give it absolutely everything.". After playing his first hit, Robbie Williams track Rock DJ, Scott told channel's listeners: "I’ve worked at the BBC for 25 years now, on the radio, a lot of you may well have grown up listening to me.

"I’m sure a lot of you will not have much idea about me at all. "Either way, if you could make me part of your morning routine, it would honestly mean so much because, believe me, I’m going to give it absolutely everything I’ve got. "I really hope you enjoy it. Let’s go.".

He then excitedly added: "This might be the best day of my life, apart from getting married.". Zoe revealed her decision to leave the show back in November, after a whopping six years in the hotseat. She told how she planned to "focus on my family.". Yet the mum of one told how she will remain on BBC Radio 2 - teasing an announcement in the new year.
