5ive star Scott Robinson and DJ Chris Brooks have co-presented The Big Drive Home show on Radio Essex since 2020. In that time, hundreds of thousands of listeners have tuned in for a daily dose of the pair’s “fierce banter and laughs”.
But the happy-go-lucky pair’s respective journeys to professional acclaim haven’t been easy. In this exclusive interview with Dr Steve Simpson, the duo candidly discuss their career paths and the impact of fame and fortune on their mental health. They open-up about their shared history of anxiety and reveal the pressures they faced in the music and showbusiness industries.
Chris and Scott, who have worked together since 2001, also tell The European about their future plans and explain how their hugely successful podcast, The A to Z of Men, has and continues to destigmatise conversations around men’s mental health.
