Harriet Marie Scott (born 23 January 1972) is a British radio presenter, and current co-host of the Breakfast show on London's Heart along with Jamie Theakston.
After studying History at Hull University, she got her first break in radio when she became a production assistant for BBC Radio Humberside. A move to GWR followed, after which she worked at a number of other stations. These include Viking FM, 2-Ten FM, and BRMB in Birmingham.

In 1998, she hit the headlines after a controversial affair with Mike Hollingsworth, a TV executive and now former husband of TV presenter Anne Diamond. In an article in the Daily Mail Scott later claimed that Hollingsworth had assaulted her. Hollingsworth later successfully sued the newspaper.[1]
