Overview

• Scott Mills officially took over the BBC Radio2 Breakfast Show from Zoe Ball in January 2025.
• He says landing the morning slot has made him feel he has “made it” and granted him newly found confidence.
• His annual pay rose from £315,000 in 2023/24 to around £450,000 for hosting the flagship breakfast programme.
• Mills admitted that seeing his earnings published each year felt “odd” and “exposing” because he is not accustomed to talking about money.
• After years of overworking to the point of risking his health, he now declines extra commitments to maintain balance.
