Scott Mills was investigated over allegations of 'serious sexual offences' against boy under 16
The case was closed for lack of evidence after police questioned him under caution in 2018, the BBC said.
- The BBC sacked presenter Scott Mills on Tuesday following allegations regarding his personal conduct. Reports indicate the claims involve a "historic relationship" with a male from more than 10 years ago.
- BBC Radio 2 host Jeremy Vine expressed shock on air, stating he was "taken aback" and had only learned of the allegations 17 minutes before his Tuesday broadcast began.
- Broadcaster Gary Davies stepped in to host the morning after Mills was taken off air, greeting listeners with "How are ya, it's Gary with you for the next three hours."
- The presenter's departure comes just over a month before Eurovision 2026, an event Mills typically covers for the broadcaster alongside Rylan Clark each year.
- Mills unknowingly hosted his final show on Tuesday, March 24, welcoming guests Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kathryn Newton into the studio before being taken off air.
