Mills Finds Solace in Take That Icon
Scott Mills has told reporters for a woman's weekly magazine that Take That icon Robbie Williams helped him sort himself out during a very bleak period in life. Mills, who is one of BBC Radio One's out gay deejays, hit rock bottom after the death of his boyfriend. He once turned up for work drunk, but the BBC, he says, was supportive and did not terminate his employment. Mills has since turned his life around. The popular and handsome presenter has links with Bristol and for a while worked on the commercial station GWR, which is now called Heart-FM.
