BBC Radio 2 fires Scott Mills over personal conduct allegations
BBC confirms Scott Mills is no longer contracted after allegations about his personal conduct, ending his Radio 2 breakfast era.
British broadcaster Scott Mills has been fired from Radio 2 following allegations about his personal conduct. The 53-year-old presenter was informed he was no longer contracted and had left the organization on March 30. Mills had been a mainstay on the station's morning lineup and previously hosted the Radio 2 breakfast show.
During his final appearance on March 24, Mills chatted with Vernon Kay about Paddy McGuinness’ weight loss journey, then signed off with the line 'see you tomorrow' before handing over to Kay. The following morning, stand-in Gary Davies stepped in to host the show.
A spokesperson for the broadcaster confirmed Mills is no longer contracted and has left. No further comment was provided.
Industry watchers note that Mills' exit closes a long chapter for Radio 2's morning schedule and raises questions about how broadcasters handle personal-conduct issues. The station has not announced who will take over the breakfast show in the immediate future.
Fans and colleagues may be left wondering about the next steps, while the public awaits more clarity from the network.
