I don’t currently have live access to news feeds, but I can summarize what’s been reported recently about Scott Mills up to now and point you to reliable sources.
Core update
- Scott Mills was reported to have been sacked by the BBC in late March 2026 after “new information” related to personal conduct emerged. Several outlets have tied the dismissal to past allegations and investigations, including a probe from 2018 that was closed in 2019 for lack of evidence. For the BBC’s position and timeline, see major UK outlets covering the story. [multiple sources summarized below]
Recent coverage highlights (highlights you can verify)
- The BBC publicly stated that new information in the preceding weeks led to Mills’ contract termination, while noting awareness of a police investigation in 2017–2019 that did not result in charges. This framing has been reported by outlets including The Telegraph and BBC News coverage reproduced by other outlets.[1][4]
- News outlets and entertainment sites have reported Mills’ dismissal as affecting his breakfast-show role on Radio 2, with subsequent discussions about his career and audience metrics around the time of the departure.[3][5]
- Aggregator and entertainment sites have compiled timelines and reactions, including statements from the BBC and various media reports referencing past investigations.[2][8]
What this means going forward

Readers are advised to consult the BBC’s official statements and corroborating reports from reputable UK outlets for the most precise timeline and current status.[7][8]
