Zoe Ball ‘so proud’ of Scott Mills as he takes over BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show Zoe Ball told Scott Mills she is “so proud” of him after he took over the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, which was marked by the town of Stockport being temporarily renamed Scottport.
Earlier in the show, the mayor of Stockport, Suzanne Wyatt, told Mills on air she sanctioned the changes to the town, which included the signage and information screens at the railway station being renamed for the day.
Mills was also presented with a Scottport sign to remember the moment, which was sent down on an early Avanti West Coast train after the company helped organise the switching of the signs with the show’s new traffic and travel reporter Ellie Brennan.
During Mills’ show, Ball said in a message: “Hello you, it’s me Zoe.
The 51-year-old took over the reins from Ball who announced in November she was stepping down to “focus on family”, having replaced Chris Evans in the slot in 2019.
