SCOTT Mills has been a staple on our screens and radios for decades, bringing audiences the breakfast shows on Radio 1 and 2 over the years.
But on March 30, 2026, the Dj was axed by the BBC over reported allegations about his “personal conduct”.
The BBC said: “While we do not comment on matters relating to individuals, we can confirm Scott Mills is no longer contracted to work with the BBC.”
As reported by the Mirror, Lorna Clarke, Director of Music at the BBC, confirmed the sacking in a statement to staff.
It read: “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 a great many years, across a broad range of our programmes on R1, 5Live, R2 and TV.
“I felt it was important to share this news with you at the earliest opportunity.”
