Love You Bye: My Story

Until very recently, Scott Mills hosted the 4-7 weekday afternoon slot on Radio 1, the drivetime show he called his own for over a decade. Whether relating a particularly embarrassing encounter with one of the many celebrities his job requires him to meet, trying not to spit water all over the mic during a game of "innuendo bingo," or finding out a weird fact about yet another one of his listeners, he's been a daily companion to more than 6 million listeners, 600,000 of whom also follow his every word on twitter. He's about to bring his incredibly interactive style of presenting to a whole new audience in the station's lunchtime slot, so now is the perfect time for him to reflect on his life and career to date. Scott is one of Radio 1's longest serving DJs and has more than 14 years of stories to tell about life at this British institution. His life has by no means been an easy ride—aside from the sometimes humiliating (but often funny) jobs he had to do while learning the ropes as a local radio DJ, he's suffered from crippling anxiety attacks, alcohol and weight issues, and a great deal more over the years. But despite the profile he now has, he remains an ordinary bloke at heart who still can't quite believe how he got to where he is now. Love You Bye—a title which references the way he signs off to the many callers and guests who he chats to daily—will provide his legions of fans with a look at the man behind the voice they know so well.
