The BBC have issued a statement about 'new information' which led to Scott Mills being sacked earlier this week
www.ladbible.comHere’s the latest on Scott Mills based on recent reporting:
-
Scott Mills was sacked by BBC Radio 2 in March 2026 amid new information related to allegations about his personal conduct. The BBC said Mills is no longer contracted to work with the BBC, but gave limited detail.[4]
-
Coverage indicates the sacking followed a separate earlier police investigation in the late 1990s/2010s that did not lead to charges, with the BBC noting they were aware of the investigation in 2017 and that it was closed in 2019 due to lack of evidence.[2][3]
-
Spin-off reporting from tabloids and entertainment outlets around the time highlighted that Mills had been under scrutiny for a “historic relationship” allegation, which the BBC and Mills’ representatives declined to detail publicly.[3][2]
-
A piece from The Mirror summarized ongoing fallout, including removal of Mills-related branding and content from various platforms, and stated the BBC’s statement about acting on new information.[1]
