Outgoing BBC director-general Tim Davie has said it became “very clear” the former Radio 2 DJ Scott Mills had to be sacked.

Mr Davie signed off director-general of the corporation on Thursday, just days after the 53-year-old breakfast show host had his contracts terminated after allegations about his “personal conduct”.
