Personal Life
Mills' parents are separated, although both feature in the show at sporadic intervals.
Mills came out as gay to the press in 2001 to avoid tabloid-style speculation. Occasionally on the show, deflective comments are made, and Mills often jokes that he "doesn't have much luck with the ladies". In his Guardian interview he explained, "I'd just like to be accepted as a normal bloke who is gay and is on the radio and the television."
Scott appeared at number 12 on the Independent on Sunday's Pink List for 2010. Mills was the 50th most influential gay person in Britain the previous year.
Mills was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Arts from Southampton Solent University on 2 November 2009.
Mills has supported climate change causes such as Global Cool.
In 2012 he wrote his first autobiography titled "Love You Bye."
