A lot of his humour is nasty and belittles people - eg his flirt divert segment where guys are encouraged to chat up girls and give them the 'flirt divert' number to a R1 line. The resulting messages from women expressing the hope that the guy whose number they took wants to see them again isn't pretty listening. The messages are played on air as the Mills' hangers-on in the studio giggle and make snide remarks. I've always thought he was a Moyles wannabee. Though I doubt he wants to be any more.

And if Mills does stay in and there's an increasing media clamour for him to go, then his listeners may keep voting because it's smart and edgy to wind up all the really stupid Strictly viewers. Innit.
I think his fans will eventually get bored, move on to something else and then he'll go.

There's a plan that proven to be flawed.
