While you may think you’ve had an awful week at work, spare a thought for those at the BBC. The Radio 2 team at Broadcasting House were blindsided on Monday (30 April) when it was announced that long-time presenter Scott Mills had been suddenly – and quietly – fired last week after almost three decades at the Beeb.
It was later reported that Mills had been questioned by police in 2018 over historical allegations of serious sexual offences. While the Crown Prosecution Service deemed there was insufficient evidence to bring charges the follow year, the BBC reportedly terminated his contract at the weekend after discovering the alleged victim was under 16.
