- Scott Mills, the BBC Radio 2 presenter, was investigated by the Metropolitan Police in 2016 over allegations of serious sexual offences against a teenage boy under 16, with incidents allegedly occurring between 1997 and 2000.
- The police investigation involved Mills being interviewed under caution, but the case was subsequently dropped due to a lack of sufficient evidence.
- It was reported on Monday, 30 March, that Mills has been sacked by the BBC over 'allegations about his personal conduct', with reports suggesting this conduct is linked to events from more than 10 years ago.
- A BBC spokesperson confirmed that Scott Mills is no longer contracted and has left the corporation, stating they do not comment on matters relating to individuals.
- Mills, who joined the BBC in 1998 and was recently announced as the new Radio 2 breakfast host, was one of the broadcaster's highest-paid presenters, with a salary between £355,000 and £359,999 for 2024-2025.
