The story of how a painfully shy boy from the suburbs
of Southampton made it to the biggest radio station in
the UK, and just about managed to stay there...Scott
Mills is a daily companion to millions of listeners as
the host of the afternoon show on Radio 1 - a station
that has been his home for over 14 years. Whether
regaling us with a typically embarrassing celebrity
anecdote or trying to control a particularly chaotic
round of 'Innuendo Bingo', his company is always
brilliantly entertaining, thanks to his infectious
enthusiasm and easygoing manner. But behind the
microphone sits a man whose route to the top has been
anything but straightforward. In this witty and
endearingly honest autobiography, Scott describes his
incredible career and the hurdles he's faced along the
way. Aside from the sometimes humiliating - and
frequently hilarious - jobs that are part and parcel of
a local radio DJ's apprenticeship, he's had to deal with
crippling anxiety attacks, alcohol and weight issues,
and a great deal more over the years.But his desire to
land his dream job has always prevailed, and he's now
one of the nation's favourite radio and television
broadcasters, travelling the world on both serious
assignments and altogether more bizarre adventures. From
washing cars on a garage forecourt off the A4 in the
name of radio entertainment, to encounters with some of
the world's biggest celebrities, Love You Bye provides
Scott's legions of fans with a fascinating look at the
man whose voice they know so well. |
