BBC Radio 1 presenter Scott Mills has revealed who is set to replace him when he leaves later this year.

On Friday, 1 July, BBC Radio 1 announced that Mills – alongside Chris Stark – would be leaving the radio station by the end of August.

The UK station said: "We have some sad news to share. Scott Mills and Chris Stark have decided that they will be leaving Radio 1 later this summer. Thank you from all of us for everything, we'll miss you both greatly."

However, Mills has since revealed who is set to take over from his position.

From August, Dean McCullough and Vicky Hawkesworth will take over as presenters on BBC Radio 1 on the Monday to Thursday, 1:00pm-3:30pm slot.

BBC Radio 1 announced the changes to the schedule via Twitter, reporting the pair will be broadcasting live from Salford.

Other changes to the radio station include Katie Thistleton now hosting her own weekend show on Friday and Saturday from 10:30am-1:00pm.

"Nat O’Leary join’s the station to host a brand new show, Radio 1 00s, on Sundays 11am - 1pm!" the final update reads.

Mills and Stark revealed they would be leaving via a video recorded by Lewis Capaldi.

"We were trying to work out how can we break this news?" Stark explained.

He continued: "It's like it's a big deal for us, there's obviously bigger things going on in the world but we wanted to do the right thing by the announcement.

"So we thought, 'Who sums us up best?' Like, who's the person we could get to do it."

"If we were gonna tell you some bad-ish news, who would be the ideal person and the person that is very 'us' to do it was Lewis," Mills added.

Stark has left BBC Radio 1 to take on the role of Creative Executive Producer at Global.

He will also appear on Capital Breakfast as a presenter alongside Roman Kemp.

In a statement released this morning, 5 July, Stark noted: "I’ve known Roman a long time and often joked over a beer it’d be great to work together on something big one day - and now here we are!

"I cannot wait to get started on Capital Breakfast and in my new Creative Executive Producer role. Let’s make some moments!"

Mills will continue his career at the BBC, however, at Radio 2, taking over from Steve Wright on his weekday show.

The pair reflected on their departure with pride. Addressing Stark, Mills said: "I am so proud of you, and I’m so proud of what we have done together. Let’s not get emotional now, that’s for another time. But I’m feeling weird.

"I’m also feeling a little bit in denial that this is actually happening, but apparently it is."
