Sara Cox Lands Radio 2 Breakfast

In a major shake-up for UK radio, Sara Cox has finally landed the most coveted job in the industry.

The Bolton-born DJ was previously overlooked for the role in 2019, but her consistent performance and popularity with listeners made her the natural choice to succeed Mills.

The BBC moved quickly to stabilize the station's morning lineup after a police investigation into Mills' past behavior led to his sudden dismissal.

Cox described the appointment as a 'dream come true' and a full-circle moment in her storied broadcasting career.
