BBC Radio 2 Shock Exit: Scott Mills Leaves Amid Personal Conduct Allegations
BBC confirms long-time radio host Scott Mills has left the corporation after allegations about his personal conduct. The Mirror reported Mills was sacked; Mills was taken off air last week and his contract terminated over the weekend, with an internal note describing the decision as sudden. Mills, 53, had recently taken over the Radio 2 Breakfast Show and previously presented the Scott Mills Show on Radio 1; he was paid around £360,000 last year. The exit follows a series of recent BBC controversy and leadership shake-ups, including Tim Davie’s upcoming departure and questions about his replacement, potentially Matt Brittin. Mills’ agent did not comment.
