02/04/2026 17:51 Dear  Mr Thomas  Thank you for contacting us about the departure of presenter Scott Mills. Scott Mills had a long career across the BBC, he was hugely popular and we know the news this week has come as a shock and surprise to many. We hope people understand that there is a limit to what we can say because we have to be mindful of the rights of those involved. What we can confirm is that in recent weeks, we obtained new information relating to Scott and we spoke directly with him. As a result, the BBC acted decisively in line with our culture and values and terminated his contracts on Friday 27 March. The BBC has made a significant commitment to improve its culture, processes and standards. Last year, following an independent culture review, we set out the behavioural expectations for everyone who works with or for the BBC and we were clear action would be taken if these were not met. Thanks for your feedback.

#BBC Replied to my complaint about their news coverage on summarily dismissed employee/contractor Mr #ScottMills If nothing else it flagged up what many probably said to them: "We see what you're doing there!"

For clarity I don't want more info, that'll doubtless unfold through legal means in time.

BBC terminates Scott Mills' contract following new information about historic police investigation The BBC has terminated the contract of radio host Scott Mills following revelations about a historic police investigation. Mills, 53, who presented the Radio 2 breakfast show, was dismissed after it emerged that the alleged victim in a 2016 police inquiry was under 16 at the time of the alleged incidents, which reportedly occurred between 1997 and 2000. Although the Crown Prosecution Service previously decided there was insufficient evidence to bring charges and the case was closed in 2019, the BBC acted after receiving new information recently. The broadcaster stated it is unclear whether previous management in 2017 knew the victim's age, but current management decided action was necessary. Outgoing BBC Director-General Tim Davie noted that the new information made the decision to dismiss Mills clear, while interim replacement Rhodri Talfan Davies emphasized that crossing ethical lines carries consequences regardless of status. Mills released a statement acknowledging the 2016 allegation and the police investigation, and asked the public and media to respect his wish for no further comment. Mills’ final show aired on March 24, 2026, and he was replaced on air the following day without explanation. Having taken over the Radio 2 breakfast show in 2025, Mills earned between £355,000 and £359,999. The BBC reaffirmed its commitment to improving its culture and standards, noting that behavioral expectations will be enforced.

In this difficult time, with the BBC firing Scott Mills and with the war in Iran, there's only one delightful DJ who can save us from the hell of it all. It's Ken Bruce, obviously. Fans of Pop Master would agree, I'm sure. Apologies to Rob Brydon. #kenbruce #bbc #scottmills #comedysong #funny

"SCOTT BREAKS SILENCE"
#BekkaBarnard for @dailystar.co.uk

#ScottMills spoke out after being axed by #BBC over claims around his "personal conduct".
He said he had "fully co-operated" with police when quizzed in 2018 and thanks his "beloved listeners".

I feel sorry for #BBC, what other employer is held responsible for their staff shagging teenagers in their private life? Is #ScottMills a wrong-un ? Definitely sounds like it but it's not like he was banging kids on his BBC desk in the middle of the office.

BBC ontslaat radiopresentator Scott Mills na beschuldigingen over zijn gedrag In het kort Scott Mills werd in 2018 door de Metropolitan Police onderzocht naar aanleiding van beschuldigingen van ernstige seksuele misdrijven tegen een tienerjongen. De vermeende incidenten vonden plaats tussen 1997 en 2000. Het onderzoek, dat in 2016 werd gestart, werd in 2019 afgesloten toen het Openbaar Ministerie vaststelde dat er onvoldoende bewijs was om […] The post BBC ontslaat radiopresentator Scott Mills na beschuldigingen over zijn gedrag appeared first on Newsmonkey.

Extensive rewording of the #BBCNews output on #ScottMills WAY TOO LATE anonymising to "A man in his 40s believed to be Scott Mills"

Scott Mills left the BBC suddenly, just after promising to be back on air. Cleared nearly a decade ago when police found insufficient evidence, his silence now suggests some new development may have reached the BBC — though what remains unknown. #ScottMills #BBC #Radio2 #Media

So, as expected #ScottMills was possibly a bad man with a teenage boy 8 years ago, career ending? We shall see. Depends who he has offended and who wants rid of him. #homophobia etc? #BBCRadio2

It's no coincidence that Rossi off greatest hits radio is not on air this week #scottmills
