SCOTT Mills has been dealt with a fresh blow after his sacking from the BBC as his M3 bridge tribute has been permanently removed.
It was officially unveiled as The Scott Mills Bridge back in 2016 and a plaque was installed at Fleet Services on the M3.
His then BBC Radio 1 co-host Chris Stark and Welcome Break staff led a campaign to rename it after him.
However, after his dismissal from the BBC, the plaque has now been removed.
In official pictures obtained by The Sun, the plaque which was previously on a wall next to a set of stairs, has been taken down.
The black and silver frame previously said “The Scott Mills Bridge” alongside the Welcome Break logo and his signature.
The Sun previously revealed that the bridge would be renamed as Welcome Break, who own the service station, want to disassociate themselves from Scott, 53, following the scandal.
A source explained last month: “It’s highly likely Welcome Break will rename the bridge in light of Scott being fired, especially given the nature of the allegations.
“It’s not a great look for them to be associated with any scandals.”
Scott was suddenly axed by the BBC with news of his sacking being made public last month.
He was last on-air as host of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show on Tuesday, March 24, before a complaint arose.
BBC chiefs are understood to have taken swift action in sacking him thereafter.
The complaint is believed to relate to “serious sexual offences” against a teenage boy.
He was questioned by police under caution in 2018 – when he was in his 40s, the Mirror reports.
The interview was related to alleged offences which took place between 1997 and 2000.
The case was dropped in full due to a lack of evidence.
A source close to Mills — the BBC’s 11th highest-paid star — told The Sun: “Scott was told about the allegation in a meeting with senior staff present. He was tense.
“He has completely shut down now and no one can get hold of him. No calls, no messages — nothing.
“The people who know him are blindsided by all of this and they can’t get hold of him.”
An internal message was sent around Radio 2 after Mills’ exit was made public.
It was revealed last week that Sara Cox will take over as host of BBC Radio 2’s Breakfast Show.
She expressed: “There are not enough adjectives to really sum up how I’m feeling about being trusted with such an iconic show but let’s start with ecstatic, honoured and incredibly chuffed.
“It’s been a dream to host the Breakfast Show since I joined Radio 2 and it feels like a bit of a full circle for me.
“I’ve had the most glorious seven years of my career on Teatime so thank you to my brilliant Teatime listeners who hopefully will join me at Breakfast for excellent music and all my usual nonsense plus some superstar guests.
“I honestly can’t wait to wake the nation up with the biggest most fun breakfast show ever.”
