Scott Mills will succeed Clara Ball on Radio 2 starting January 27 after her six-year tenure. Despite concerns about female representation on the network, Mills assured there are women presenters on his morning show. The lineup will include notable presenters like Trevor Nelson and Jo Whiley, with programming changes including an extension of Sophie Ellis-Bextor's show. Ball, the first woman to lead the breakfast show, decided to leave to prioritize her family, marking a significant moment in Radio 2's history and highlighting ongoing discussions about gender representation.
When asked if he was concerned by the lack of main women presenters until the afternoon on Radio 2, Mills told the Radio Times that we have two women... So no, I'm not worried about that in the slightest.
Ball became the first woman to present the breakfast show when she took over from Chris Evans in January 2019. She announced her decision to leave in November, saying it was time for her to step away from the very early mornings and focus on family.
