Scott, 51, has worked for the Beeb since 1998, and was previously known for Radio 1. The popular presenter has now opened up about how during his time at the BBC he once almost got fired. Speaking to Dermot O'Leary, he revealed how a boozy night out at the Brits almost got him sacked from his job.

It came after Dermot played a clip of Scott slurring his words on his early morning Radio 1 show in 2001. After hearing the clip, the new Radio 2 Breakfast Show star said: "That's called how to really nearly lose your job at BBC. "I had got carried away so much at the Brit Awards, because I had never been there before, and time just fast-forwarded, and somebody went, what time are you on air?.

And I said, 'Four?' and they went, 'Well, it's two now'. Oh no!. "It was horrendous.". Going on, Scott said: "I was young, I was naive and stupid, and they were furious, and quite rightly so. "And also, there was a thing, at Radio 1 then, called the den. "This probably wasn't allowed, but why go home when you can have a couple hours of sleep in the den?.
