Just seen an article saying he was questioned over sexual offences towards a teenage boy in 2018.

Meteorite87 · 30/03/2026 22:10

Just watching some BBC news coverage and the subtitles had a stumble: "The BBC reaction was very quick" became "The BBC erection was very quick"

Um...🤣

Runnersandtoms · 30/03/2026 22:12

He's due to be on one of the upcoming episodes of Celebrity bake off,obviously recorded before this. Wonder if whatever it is is bad enough for C4 to pull the episode.

Just seen this! I was a bit dubious at first but have grown to love his breakfast show!!!!! I wonder what he’s done?!

Yes, like you, it took me a while to get used to him and love it now. I thought I must have missed him saying he was going to be on holiday.

A friend was round tonight and we were speculating as to who might take over the slot.

Just seen the same thing .. 🫤

ProudAmberTurtle · 30/03/2026 22:32

Apparently the Met Police have confirmed tonight that they received a referral about him and a teenage boy in 2016 - it led to Mills being questioned under caution in 2018. They also said it was 'sexual offences' and it relates to when he was working at Radio 1.

Just like Huw Edwards - there is no way the BBC wouldn't have known about these allegations

likelysuspect · 30/03/2026 22:34

So no arrest?

So whats the issue now?

So basically just like Schofield. Disgusting.

He was questioned in 2018, about incidents that happened between 1997 and 2000. So this relates to when in he was 24-27 years old himself.

I'm so sad about this - loved listening to SM in the mornings. Must be something serious, I guess but hoping it's not another grooming / sexual misconduct thing.

My vote for replacement would be Mark and Lard! It'll never happen but I used to love them on Radio 1 back in the day.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 30/03/2026 22:58

Just googled and another wrong un (but contemplate boys) who was dismissed or resigned from beeb, Angus Deayton has apparently found work since. Schofe apparently earned only £20K last year or year before and now resides in his Cornish home but has a partner.

Despite being in my late 30s I am still listening to Radio 1. I constantly live in fear of the police knocking on my door to ask why I haven't moved over to Radio 2, as is the law for people of my advanced age!
With this in mind, I can't offer an opinion on the quality of Scott's R2 show but we do miss him hosting the chart show. Scott at least was knowledgable about chart music, past and present, the new regular host, Jack Saunders, seems musically illiterate, seems to know nothing about pop music, regularly gets facts and figures and even chart placing wrong when presenting, despite presumably having the information in front of him, and fills the air-time with inane nonsense, no interesting facts about the chart like Scott used to provide.
I know we are in a minority but as people who are quite obsessive about our pop music trivia we still follow the charts regularly so, even if nobody else cares about the drop in standards of the R1 chart show, we do!

Sssshhhh 🤫 I’m 54 and still prefer to listen to Radio 1. My kids (30 and 28) reckon I’m much more up to date on chart music than they are 🤣

What did Angus Deayton do?

I bet he is devastated. Love him and it meant the world to him. Very sad.

Can't stand him sorry, found him v irritating and hated the fact he took over from Steve Wright who had the best show ever......

That isn't a logical follow-on - if she doesn't know who the hell Scott Mills is, but he's all over today's news, then why NOT come on this thread to find out? Grin Thread title says nothing about radio.

I have genuinely never heard of Scott Mills before today, either, so I'll join that club. Though I do really want to know what he's meant to have done! I listen to the radio all the time but not R2.

That's what god invented Google for.

Got a feeling it was a prostitute or something

Was a very amusing episode after on HIGNFY with Paul wearing this on a t-shirt.

That was a hilarious episode-Angus Deayton took it on the chin if I remember right

*He had been caught with cocaine and strippers/prostitutes whilst married

Do scoot over to 6 on weekend mornings for Radcliffe and Maconie. I too used to love Mark and Lard and this combination is a good substitute! I’ve always said 6 is radio 1 for grown ups.
