BBC Radio 2 fires Scott Mills over personal conduct claims
BBC Radio 2 has confirmed it has parted ways with Scott Mills, ending his run as the host of its flagship breakfast show amid allegations about his personal conduct. Mills, 53, was taken off air last week while executives reviewed the claim, and the broadcaster says he is no longer employed on the programme. The decision marks a significant shift for the morning line-up and follows Mills’ long-running tenure as a central figure on Radio 2 after taking over the breakfast slot from Zoe Ball. \n\nMills was questioned under caution in relation to the allegations, but the case was dropped due to a lack of evidence. During the investigation, Gary Davies stood in as host to keep the morning show on track for listeners. The radio network has not detailed the nature of the conduct concerns, but has emphasised that Mills’ departure is effective immediately. \n\nThe development sends a clear signal about the BBC’s stance on personal conduct and workplace standards, and it leaves Radio 2’s breakfast schedule in a period of transition as the station prepares a plan for the show’s future. Fans and industry watchers will be watching closely for any announcements about a replacement or a broader reshuffle of the morning programming. The BBC says it will provide further information about plans for the breakfast slot in due course.
