US EditionBBC Replaces Scott Mills as Host for Race Across the World Podcast
- The BBC named TV presenter and DJ Tyler West as host of 'Race Across the World: The Detour,' replacing Scott Mills on the companion podcast launching today, April 2.
- BBC bosses terminated Mills' contract last week following revelations of a 2016 Metropolitan Police inquiry into allegations of "serious sexual offences" involving a teenage boy, which closed in 2019 without charges.
- Addressing the inquiry, Mills stated he "co-operated fully" with police, emphasizing the investigation closed seven years ago without charges. The podcast features West and series four winner Alfie Watts offering travel advice.
- Despite the staffing upheaval, the BBC proceeded with the companion vodcast, which remains available weekly on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds immediately following each television episode.
- The civilian series follows five teams racing through the largest continental area on Earth, with contestants traveling 12,000km from Palermo, Italy, to Hatgal, Mongolia, crossing eight countries.
