Very happy as I can't stand him

Got to be more to it than that 😞Don't say he was another Scofield 😞

Course you did. 😂

I would love OJ to take over. I don't know why he hasn't got a better lot yet. He is great when he covers for anyone. Maybe he likes his nights?

I would hate it to be Vernon, he is going downhill, used to like him but he gets on my nerves now.

Male relationship from over 10 years ago.
There’s no rules against sleeping around or being gay, so only 1 thing this could mean.

I’m wondering if taking decisive action now means that there will therefore be no investigation because he’s no longer an employee and therefore no transparency. Which actually works in favour of both the BBC and Scott. No investigation means no need to report what the allegations are or what he’s been accused of / done ? I don’t know if I’m correct in thinking this though?

What are you implying?

He might have had a dalliance with someone he worked with, said 'oh I can get a few openings for you'

Is that what you mean?

Or are you saying you think it was a child?

Why not? Never heard of intuition? Must his body language, tone, whatever. No idea what the reason for sacking is but I always felt he was not Mr Nice Guy shall we say.

I’ve always felt he was better suited to local radio
I agree. I've always found him to be a lightweight.
I don't think Popbitch has said anything recently that might have been alluding to this, which is surprising as they're usually all over this sort of thing.

I think @Nobua means abuse of power/grooming.

Love Scott. I'll be relieved when I find out the reason as then I'll know how to react.

I’d actually rather know why Liza Tarbuck disappeared and then announced it weeks later.

My guess would be bullying. He has a lot of main character energy and didn’t come across very well on RATW at all. We saw how he treated his DH who he adores, imagine how he must treat the show runners?

I’d be amazed if it was sexual impropriety. He seems far to vanilla for that.

I assumed Schofield!

I think a lot of the reasons on here would be classed as professional conduct or misconduct and not personal conduct.

I reckon theres a group of men in charge at the beeb and itv

And if you piss them off, youre getting sacked

See
Loose women and Lorraine being downgraded
Eastenders sackings
David Williams (deserved) and Phil scholfield

Dunno just a vibe I get

vanilla? Like Schofield?

He looks haunted and traumatised from doing nights for so long 😄

He did a stint on masterchef so hope he gets something from it

And Huw Edwards?

Lou has had her own book (Lessons From a Default Parent) recently released and she has been publicising it. I think Rob has appeared with her to give moral support.

Controversial

I reckon schofield should be given another chance

He had a relationship with someone young - not the end of the world sorry

If not Sarah I’d say Trevor! His 2pm show is absolutely fantastic. I don’t even mind vernon on the radio.. couldn’t listen to Scott Mills at all, I found his self importance very off putting.

The speculation has got to be worse for his reputation, surely?

He'd be better publishing a personal statement.

Whatever the reason - it's big.

It’s not just piss them off, in Schofield’s case he was acting inappropriately with an underage man.

Schofield wasn’t vanilla though. He was always spouting off sexual innuendo. Plus very obviously gay and leading a weird double life staying married to his wife. No one was surprised to find out he had secrets in his closet.

I loved Scott in the afternoon slot but he doesn't suit the morning one at all.

Vernon is going downhill, lazy shows relying on Janice/Janine boring jokes and dead air time with them giggling at themselves, I've turned off.
