From “back tomorrow” to out: Scott Mills dumped by BBC within days
Radio 2 star Scott Mills has been dismissed by the BBC following allegations regarding his personal conduct.
The BBC stated, "While we do not comment on matters relating to individuals, we can confirm Scott Mills is no longer under contract and has left the BBC."
He took over the breakfast show from Zoe Ball in January 2025.
He was reportedly informed over the weekend that his contract had been terminated.
Lorna Clarke, BBC Director of Music, said in a statement to staff: "I wanted to personally let you know that Scott Mills has left the Breakfast show and the BBC. I know that this news will be sudden and unexpected and therefore must come as a shock.
“Not least as so many of us have worked with Scott over many years, across a wide range of our programs on R1, 5Live, R2, and TV. I felt it was important to share this news with you at the earliest opportunity."
Mills was paid between £355,000 and £359,999 annually for his work at the BBC, according to the 2024–2025 pay report.
He was taken off air last Tuesday while bosses investigated the allegation, before his dismissal was announced today.
On Tuesday 24 March, he ended his program at 09:30 GMT, saying "Back tomorrow."
The following morning, Gary Davies started the show, saying he was "in for Scott Mills".
