Sara Cox is set to leave her Radio 2 teatime presenting role after seven years and take over the station’s Breakfast Show, according to reports. The change comes after Scott Mills is removed from the Breakfast programme following allegations involving serious sexual offences concerning a teenage boy under 16.
In the announcements circulated by outlets covering the story, Cox, aged 51, is described as preparing to move into the morning slot vacated by Mills. Her departure from the teatime position is framed as a farewell after a long run on Radio 2, while her upcoming assignment is reported as a transition to the Breakfast format.
The articles focus on the programming changes and the circumstances behind Mills’ departure. No additional details about the allegations are provided beyond characterising them as involving serious sexual offences and the age of the alleged victim. The reporting presents the leadership change as a result of Mills being sacked and Cox taking the newly available role.
