Strictly Come Dancing spotlight: Scott Mills

Radio DJ and TV presenter Scott Mills has been entertaining the nation on BBC Radio 1 for over 15 years and now heā€™s about to face his biggest challenge to date by appearing on Strictly Come Dancing.

Why did Scott sign up for the ballroom show? ā€˜I signed up because I like to do something every year that makes me scared. As much as I say I donā€™t like being scared, I obviously do. Which makes me an adrenaline junkie! Four or five years ago I wouldnā€™t have considered it but I feel braver now. I did street dancing with Olly Murs on TV and the Sport Relief desert trek where we trekked across the desert in Kenya ā€“ I never thought Iā€™d be able to do that. So here we are! Thatā€™s why I said yes. I donā€™t know whether Iā€™ll live to regret itā€¦ā€™

Scott doesnā€™t consider himself to be a very competitive person. ā€˜Not massively. Or I donā€™t think I am. But Iā€™ve not really been in a situation where Iā€™ve been up against people before. I want to make it good. I donā€™t want to be ā€˜the bad oneā€™ so that makes me a bit competitive alreadyā€¦Iā€™m going to do as much as I can, try my best and hopefully do alright.ā€™

When it comes to dancing he doesnā€™t believe he has any skills. ā€˜Awful. Zero. Non-existent because Iā€™ve never done it. But letā€™s find out, I might be brilliant!ā€™

Strictly Come Dancing returns at 8pm Sunday on BBC One. Watch Scott’s launch interview below:
