Scott Mills is reportedly planning to sue the BBC for unfair dismissal after he was taken off the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show in March, with reports suggesting the former presenter is now preparing legal action against his long-time employer.

For context, the news comes after Mills' sudden departure from Radio 2 earlier this year, ending a 28-year run with the corporation. He first made his name on BBC Radio 1 before moving across the schedules, becoming one of the BBC's most familiar voices until his contract was terminated against the backdrop of historic sexual offence allegations.
