For more than two decades, Scott Mills has been one of the most recognisable voices on British radio, a constant presence across the BBC airwaves and a familiar soundtrack to millions of listeners' daily routines. But the 53-year-old was taken off air on his Radio 2 show last Tuesday while the BBC assessed new information that has since led to his departure. He was told his contract was terminated at the weekend, sources claim. Scott took over the flagship breakfast show from Zoe Ball in 2025.
