BBC presenter Tina Daheley has told fans she’s “bouncing back” after quitting BBC Radio 2 following Scott Mills’ axe. In June, we reported how Tina announced her exit from the Breakfast Show after seven years on air – but that she would remain in the Radio 2 fold and on Jeremy Vine’s show over summer.

I miss you on Radio Two”. A second posted: “Good cause we love ya” as a third put: “Miss hearing you on the radio”. In a lengthy text statement uploaded to her grid this summer, Tina was emotional as she wrote: “After more than seven years of early alarm calls on Radio 2, I’m stepping away from Radio 2 breakfast. Most read in Showbiz “It’s been one of the greatest privileges of my life to wake up with you every morning, and humbling to have been trusted to deliver the news on the biggest breakfast show in Europe.” Tina then went on to reminisce about her time with the BBC and said: “My breakfast run ends on Radio 2 but it all started on 1Xtra where I landed my dream job reading the news on Trevor Nelson’s Breakfast Show. “From there, I spent a decade broadcasting to one in four young people in the UK on Radio 1. “After 18 years and six back to back breakfast shows (probably a record) in there somewhere, I am looking forward to a lie in”. She added of new BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show host Sara Cox – who replaced Scott: “Wishing Sara and her team the very best of luck. “I’ll be tuning in while doing the school run. “I’m not leaving Radio 2, you’ll hear me between 12 and 2pm when Jeremy’s away and you’ll see me on BBC One after the summer. “Beyond that, watch this space”. Earlier this year, Tina told why she had gone “missing” amid an “awful week” after being struck down by illness. She was absent at the same time as her former co-host Scott was pulled off-air. Scott was dismissed after new information about a police investigation about alleged sex offences with a boy aged under 16 in 2018 came to light at the BBC. As well as losing his role on Radio 2, Mills was also sacked from working on the BBC’s Eurovision coverage and from a new podcast spin off from Race Across The World – which he won the celebrity series of in 2024.
