The BBC issued a statement disclosing they obtained new information which contradicted their culture and values regarding Scott Mills. The exact nature of the personal conduct allegation and the specific new information obtained have not been publicly detailed. Vernon Kay and Sara Cox are listed at 3/1 odds to replace Scott Mills on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, though the BBC has not announced an official successor.
Vernon Kay remained silent when Jeremy Vine mentioned the sacking of colleague Scott Mills on his show, according to multiple reports. The reason for his silence during that broadcast segment is unclear. Vernon Kay later playfully remarked that from now on, when people ask what Jeremy Vine is like, he will say he turns people's televisions off from a distance, according to Daily Express - Showbiz.
I didn't expect us to touch a nerve the way that we have. 'Morning Vern and team, this is Rachel in Brandon, Suffolk, do not, please do not mess with a hot cross bun. Once you change the flavours, toffee, apple, chocolate, you name it, they're sticking everything in there these days, it is no longer a hot cross bun.'
Vernon Kay suffered a painful injury to his back and spine after jumping down two steps at the BBC canteen before his show, multiple reports indicate. According to Daily Mirror - Main, Vernon Kay described the incident, explaining he attempted to jump like a child but felt immediate pain from his hips to his spine. He delivered bad news to his Radio 2 co-star Gary Davies upon returning from holiday, saying he pulled his back lifting furniture and needs a chiropractor. Vernon Kay revealed that his Radio 2 co-star Janine Maya-Smith has banned him from talking about his Saturday morning bacon sandwich on air, according to multiple sources.
Vernon Kay was left exclaiming why would you say that after his Radio 2 colleague Janine Maya-Smith remarked that he stands exactly like his dad. According to Daily Mirror - 3am Showbiz, Vernon Kay described the comment as unfair during a moment when he was enjoying the view of Central London. Vernon Kay told his Radio 2 co-star Jeremy Vine you're unbelievable after Jeremy claimed people at the gym build muscles by simply scrolling on their phones. According to Daily Mirror - 3am Showbiz, Jeremy Vine described seeing people at the gym who appear to build muscle through phone scrolling alone.
Steve, I'll be honest with you, if we were friends, which we are, we're work colleagues, and you were to come round my house on a Saturday morning when I'm making my bacon sandwich, which Janine banned me from talking about, because it's so delicious, I think I would change your mind.
Vernon Kay said he would get fired if he commented on a listener's story about her mother failing a driving test in 1983 due to not wearing a seatbelt. According to Daily Mirror - 3am Showbiz, a listener described her mother's driving test failure occurring just two days after the seatbelt law took effect. According to Daily Mirror - 3am Showbiz, Vernon Kay described wanting to comment but fearing dismissal over the examiner's strict application of the new rule.
Vernon Kay said he touched a nerve during a discussion about hot cross buns on his BBC Radio 2 show. According to Daily Mirror - Main, Vernon Kay described receiving a complaint from listener Rachel from Brandon, Suffolk about changing flavors of hot cross buns. A listener named Rachel from Brandon, Suffolk complained about changing flavors of hot cross buns, arguing that additions like toffee or chocolate alter the traditional bun. Vernon Kay and his colleagues were ranking various types of sourdough bread, according to multiple reports.
Janine has just said something that happens to us all as we, in inverted commas, 'mature'. I was just stood up looking at the wonderful vista in front of us, Central London in all its glory, all its glory. I can see Regents Park, all the flats on the hill there, Wembley Stadium to my left, and she said, 'Goodness gracious me, you're stood exactly like your dad'. I was having such a good morning, why would you say that? It's not fair, I don't want to look like my dad.
Vernon Kay made a cheeky biased confession on Instagram, praising his wife Tess Daly's swim shorts design as the comfiest he's ever worn, multiple reports indicate. In a social media post, he wrote that he was grateful for a knockout week in the sunshine and proud to be rocking Naia Beach men's swim shorts, which he described as biased as they're a Tess Daly design but the comfiest shorts he's ever drank rum punch in and swam in. The full extent of Vernon Kay's back injury and how long it will affect him remains unknown.
Funny story, my mum back in the day was sitting her driving test and she went through the whole test and right at the end the examiner said 'you've failed,' because she didn't have her seatbelt on. It was two days after that law went into action. You'd think the examiner would just say 'Remember the new law'.
I want to say something but I can't because I'll get fired. Why would the person do that? 'Just to remind you, there's a new law in place, do you know what that is?' Really easy. Really easy, just put on your seatbelt and away you go, they would have passed otherwise.
I've got some bad news Gary. I was lifting furniture on Friday, I've pulled my back. Chiropractor this week.
From now on when everyone asks me, 'What is Jeremy Vine like?', I'm going to say, 'He turns people's televisions off from a distance'.
Do you know what I did? I leaned out my window with my remote and I taught him that every time he puts the TV volume up above six it mysteriously turns itself off, and he couldn't work out what was going on. And it was a victory for the little man. It was one of the most satisfying moments of my life. The remote worked on his TV as well.
You've got to be careful when you're doing stuff like that. When you do things like that it makes you realise you're off an age. I did that giddy thing today, and this relates to the story we're going to do on your voice notes later. As you step down into the BBC canteen, there's just two steps. There's two steps. Now if you take yourself back to when you were 11, at high school, you would jump those two steps. You'd see the two steps and go 'wahey, I'm not going to step down the two steps, I'm going to jump down the two steps.' Well I unfortunately did that this morning. In the canteen I saw two steps and thought 'I'll jump down them, easy.' Like a kid. Well my knees don't have the suspension they used to have when I was 11. They were like two fence posts and I felt it right in the hips. It went right up to the top of my spine. You just can't do it anymore. You just can't do it anymore.
Very grateful for a knockout week in the sunshine…And proud to be rocking @naia_beach men’s swim shorts. I am biased as they’re a @tessdaly design, but they are THE comfiest shorts I’ve ever drank rum punch in!! (And swam in of course!!)
When I've been to the gym, there are people who think you build muscles by simply scrolling. Yeah, they don't do any exercises at all, and the weird thing is, they've got more muscles than anyone. And they're just walking around flexing. Oh, it must be drugs.
You're unbelievable!
