The BBC is “lining up a wildcard” replacement for Scott Mills, who was sacked from the Radio 2 breakfast show last month.
Mills, 53, was fired shortly before it emerged he’d been investigated by the Metropolitan Police in 2016 over allegations of serious sexual offences involving a teenage boy under 16 between 1997 and 2000. Mills was not charged at the time after the Crown Prosecution Service found that “the evidential threshold had not been met”.
