Radio DJ and TV presenter Scott Mills has been entertaining the nation on BBC Radio 1 for over 15 years and now heās about to face his biggest challenge to date by appearing on Strictly Come Dancing.
Why did Scott sign up for the ballroom show? āI signed up because I like to do something every year that makes me scared. As much as I say I donāt like being scared, I obviously do. Which makes me an adrenaline junkie! Four or five years ago I wouldnāt 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 Iād be able to do that. So here we are! Thatās why I said yes. I donāt know whether Iāll live to regret itā¦ā
Scott doesnāt consider himself to be a very competitive person. āNot massively. Or I donāt think I am. But Iāve not really been in a situation where Iāve been up against people before. I want to make it good. I donāt want to be āthe bad oneā so that makes me a bit competitive alreadyā¦Iām going to do as much as I can, try my best and hopefully do alright.ā
When it comes to dancing he doesnāt believe he has any skills. āAwful. Zero. Non-existent because Iāve never done it. But letās find out, I might be brilliant!ā
Strictly Come Dancing returns at 8pm Sunday on BBC One. Watch Scott’s launch interview below:
