Scott Mills was reportedly sacked by the BBC over an allegation relating to his personal conduct , with several reports saying the claim may involve a historic relationship. The BBC has not publicly given full details, so the exact reason has not been officially confirmed.

What’s been reported

  • He was taken off air while the BBC reviewed the allegation.
  • Media reports say the issue may concern a past relationship dating back more than 10 years.
  • The BBC’s statement has been limited to saying he is no longer contracted to work for them.

Important caveat

Because the BBC has not released specifics, the public information is still partly unconfirmed, so it’s best to treat the “historic relationship” detail as reported but not officially detailed by the BBC.
