Sara Cox lands Radio 2 Breakfast

Sara Cox has finally landed the biggest job in British radio after being overlooked for the role in 2019.

The move follows the shock dismissal of Scott Mills, whose departure was linked to a 2016 police investigation into his personal conduct.

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

The BBC is now searching for a replacement for Cox's popular drivetime show as it continues to overhaul its Radio 2 lineup to attract younger listeners.
