Scott Mills Breaks Silence on BBC Exit

On April 1, radio DJ Scott Mills just broke his silence after the BBC sacked him over personal

conduct issues. The 53-year-old hosted their breakfast show until last week, when he got pulled

off air suddenly, turns out. It ties back to a metropolitan police investigation he confirmed

is about him. No charges filed, case closed years ago. The allegation popped up in December 2016

about serious sexual offenses against a teenage boy from 1997 to 2000. Mills got questioned under

caution in July 2018, fully cooperated, and police sent a full evidence file to the Crown

Prosecution Service. They decided there wasn't enough to prosecute, so it wrapped up in May 2019.

Fans and former colleagues have been hitting him with support messages, which he shouted out in

his statement. He misses his listeners big time, and thanked them from the heart. But with the

claim dating nearly 30 years back, and the probe shut down seven years ago, he's asking everyone

to respect his privacy. No more public. Let's talk on it. Earlier this week, the BBC announced his

contract in the mid-rumors, right after his last show on Tuesday, March 24, where he signed off.

Casual, like, see you tomorrow. Police don't name folks pre-charges, so this all lines up now that

he's spoken. Mills hopes the speculation dies down, so he can move forward, leaving the focus on facts

over frenzy. Stay tuned for any updates as this unfolds.
