Ex-Radio 2 presenter reportedly investigated over claims relating to teenage boy but case closed through lack of evidence
Scott Mills was questioned over allegations of serious sexual offences against a teenage boy in 2018 but the case was later closed due to lack of evidence, it has emerged after he was sacked with immediate effect.
Mills, who hosted Britain’s most popular radio breakfast show on BBC Radio 2, was taken off the air last week and on Monday the BBC announced his contract had been terminated.
It said Mills was sacked due to allegations related to “personal conduct”, while the Mirror newspaper, which broke the story, reported that the allegations concerned a “historic relationship”.
Late on Monday, the Mirror reported that the sacking related to a police investigation in 2016 into alleged serious sexual offences against a teenage boy that was dropped due to a lack of evidence.
