Scott Mills: I Thought Paris Hilton's People Were Going To Rape Me

January 30, 2008

Radio 1 presenter jokes that he felt very afraid.

When Scott Mills interviewed Paris Hilton, she turned up with a posse of minders.

The Radio 1 presenter had no problems chatting to the Hollywood socialite, but he was intimidated by her entourage.

'Paris Hilton was really nice, she was cool,' he tells Now Online.

'But her people were hilarious. There was about 6 of them at the back of the studio in my eye-line.

'They were all wearing dark glasses, and looking really miserable. It was like they were going to rape me!'

And dopey Paris wasn't even sure who all her sinister-looking companions actually were.

'I asked her what they all did and she didn't know.' he laughs.

'They were sat there and it was like they were going to hold up cards and tell me how well I'd done.'

Scott, 33, is launching a new BBC 3 reality show called Upstaged – where contestants get a chance to showcase their talents in a glass box in Bristol.

Viewers can vote online and the overall winner will get 10,000.
