Scott Mills has been sacked from his role at BBC Radio 2 following allegations about his personal conduct.
The presenter, 53, joined the BBC in 1998 to host Radio 1’s early breakfast show, before moving to Radio 2 after 24 years to take over its afternoon slot. In November 2024, he was announced as the new Radio 2 breakfast host, replacing Zoe Ball.
After nearly three decades with the corporation, it was reported by BBC News on Monday (30 March) that Mills had been sacked over “allegations about his personal conduct”.
A BBC spokesperson said in a statement that “while we do not comment on matters relating to individuals, we can confirm Scott Mills is no longer contracted and has left the BBC”.
The Independent has contacted the BBC and Mills for comment.
Mills was one of the highest-paid presenters at the BBC, with his 2024-2025 salary revealed to be between £355,000 and £359,999.
