DJ raises over £1m for charity

SCOTT Mills has completed his 24-hour treadmill challenge raising more than £1 million for BBC Children In Need.

The 49-year-old broadcaster started the Great Scott TreadMills Challenge for BBC Radio 2 on Wednesday and finished on Thursday morning at 8.20am.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Mills said: “I just want to say thank you to everyone (who has donated).

“It’s been such a ride, I honestly didn’t think in these times we would even get close to that amount and I’m truly grateful.”

Mills said he was “glad” to have BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball on hand to help him off the treadmill due to accidents that have happened before when people have attempted this challenge.
