    Scott presses Ball's Button

    As Scott started to flag again, 15 hours into this 24-hour challenge, he pressed Ball's Button for a second time.

    This is a special button provided by Radio 2 Breakfast's Zoe Ball, which provides Scott with a little treat to bring his energy up when he presses it.

    And Scott was more than a little surprised that this time, the button summoned four professional dancers from Pineapple Studios!

    They danced ON the treadmills and in front of Scott to bring him a fun, motivational performance and put a smile on his face.

  20. DIY SOS on Radio 2published at 23:02 GMT 16 November 2022

    As Trevor and Scott have just been talking about, Radio 2 has teamed up with Children in Need for a special DIY SOS Big Build in Leeds.

    Nick Knowles and his team are tasked with transforming a derelict site into a brand new base for the young women’s charity Getaway Girls. A massive challenge to complete in just ten days, and with Radio 2's help they went on a mission to recruit the hundreds of volunteers needed, while presenters Sara Cox, Scott Mills, Rylan, Spoony and Trevor Nelson don hard hats and high-vis to get stuck in, shovelling dirt, plastering and painting.

    DIY SOS: The Big Build is available to watch on BBC iPlayer, while a Behind the Scenes special can be heard on BBC Sounds. Check these out once Scott has finished his challenge!
