Scott Mills Fired Over Historic Sex Allegations

Scott Mills, BBC Radio Twos breakfast host for 28 years, was fired due to personal conduct issues from a police probe in the late 90s. Allegations of serious sexual offenses against a teenage boy between 1997 and 2000 led to his questioning in 2018, but charges were dropped in 2019. His dismissal followed a docu-drama on Huw Edwards, with BBC execs seeing a potential reckoning. Mills was well-liked and highly paid, earning up to £360,000 per year. The BBC moved swiftly without a long suspension, and Millss team is considering legal action. Radio Two now faces the challenge of finding a replacement for their six million weekly listeners.
