The dust may have settled at Broadcasting House following the BBC’s shock firing of Scott Mills in March, however the presenter – who was sacked over allegations about his personal conduct – is still yet to be replaced on Radio 2.
Mills was the reliable broadcaster taking charge of Radio 2’s Breakfast Show when the BBC suddenly announced that he was leaving after almost three decades at the corporation. It emerged shortly after that he had been investigated by the Metropolitan Police in 2016 over allegations of serious sexual offences involving a teenage boy under 16 between 1997 and 2000, however he was not charged.
