- Sara Cox has been announced as the new host of the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, taking over from Scott Mills.
- Mills was dismissed from his popular slot just under a month ago following allegations regarding his personal conduct.
- Cox, who previously presented the station's weekday teatime show, will begin presenting the breakfast show to its 6.5 million weekly listeners this summer.
- She expressed her excitement and honour, stating it has been a dream to host the breakfast show since joining Radio 2.
- Mills' firing was linked to a 2016 police investigation into alleged serious sexual offences, which was closed in 2019 due to insufficient evidence to bring charges.
