Stockport renamed Scottport to mark Scott Mills’ new BBC Radio 2 show Stockport has been renamed Scottport to celebrate Scott Mills taking over the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show.
Earlier in the show, a Stockport station spokeswoman told Mills their team has been “working so hard right the way through the night” to change Stockport to Scottport.
Among the tracks they tweaked the lyrics to included The Only Way Is Up by Yazz to “the only way is Scott”, Donna Summer’s Hot Stuff to “Scott stuff”, and Spice Girls’ Stop to ‘Scott right now’.
Mills, who said he used to live “quite near” Stockport, described the changes as “bonkers” and “like a fever dream” as he thanked the station team.
A whole new town, a whole new name, just to welcome Scott Mills”, she added.
