Scott Mills | BBC's sacking of star DJ coincides with scrutiny over £1.5m staff disputes bill

Scott Mills has been sacked by the BBC following allegations about his personal conduct, in a move employment lawyers say signals a potentially sharper approach to workplace investigations at the broadcaster.

The star DJ, who has hosted the Radio 2 breakfast show since January 2025, was last on air on March 24. The following morning, colleague Gary Davies told listeners he was “in for Scott Mills”.
