BBC stars including Zoe Ball, Sara Cox and Rylan Clark are standing by sacked 'scapegoat' DJ Scott Mills over an historical allegation of serious sexual offences.
Scott, 53, believes he was unfairly dismissed in March when new information came to light about historic allegations of serious sexual offences on a teenager.
Michael Heppell, from the UK, congratulated Sara, 51, on Instagram shortly after the BBC confirmed she will take over from Scott as the host of Radio 2's breakfast show.
Sara Cox will replace Scott Mills as the new host of the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show. The DJ, who currently hosts the teatime show on the station from 4pm to 7pm, will take over the role in the summer.
When Sara Cox completed her heroic 135-mile marathon challenge for Children in Need , it was her Radio 2 colleague Scott Mills who embraced her at the finishing line.
The BBC Radio 2 host has been left devastated by the death of her long-term pal Peta Kennedy at the age of 50, after the pair shared a final emotional goodbye on the critical unit.
Sara Cox made a final emotional visit to her dying friend in hospital before she passed away just weeks after her record-breaking Children In Need challenge.
