Mills was questioned under caution in 2018, but the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) dropped the case in 2019, saying there wasn\u2019t enough evidence to prosecute.([ibtimes.co.uk](https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/allegations-against-scott-mills-bbc-presenter-removed-amid-conduct-investigation-1789551?utm_source=openai))  \n   - It\u2019s *not yet confirmed* whether this investigation was the primary reason for his dismissal, but reports have drawn a connection.([news.sky.com](https://news.sky.com/story/radio-2-dj-scott-mills-sacked-by-bbc-over-personal-conduct-13526018?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Newest developments\n\n- **BBC Apology Over Previous Allegations**  \n  The BBC has now apologized for failing to follow up on allegations raised against Mills in **May 2025** by journalist Anna Brees, concerning \u201cinappropriate communications.\u201d They admitted they should have asked further questions.([geo.tv](https://www.geo.tv/latest/658079-bbc-apologizes-after-failing-to-probe-scott-mills-allegations-in-2025?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Silence on Specifics**  \n  The BBC has reiterated that it does *not* comment on personal matters relating to individuals. They have confirmed only that Mills is no longer under contract. No public details have been released regarding what specifically triggered the final decision.([upday.com](https://www.upday.com/uk/entertainment/bbc-sacks-radio-2-breakfast-host-scott-mills-over-conduct-allegations/jv0bqb8?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Organizational Impact**  \n  Rhodri Talfan Davies, acting Director-General, acknowledged that the news would be \u201csudden and unexpected,\u201d recognizing the shock this has caused both internally among staff and externally with listeners. Plans for replacing Mills on the Breakfast Show are still being formulated.([radiotoday.co.uk](https://radiotoday.co.uk/2026/03/acting-bbc-dg-rhodri-talfan-davies-reacts-to-scott-mills-sacking/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can pull up latest reactions from the public or any ongoing legal/investigative steps."

([itv.com](https://www.itv.com/news/2026-03-31/bbc-apologises-over-separate-allegations-about-scott-mills-made-last-year?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere are a few details that support this:\n\n- According to ITV News, when asked, Mills *has not publicly commented* on the allegations made against him. ([itv.com](https://www.itv.com/news/2026-03-31/bbc-apologises-over-separate-allegations-about-scott-mills-made-last-year?utm_source=openai))  \n- Reporting from RadioToday notes the BBC has confirmed his departure and that he is no longer contracted with the company, but there\u2019s no mention of anything he has said in his own defense.

        "content": "Here\u2019s what is known so far about what might happen with the TV/TV-adjacent programs Scott Mills was involved in, like *Celebrity Race Across the World* and *Eurovision*, following his dismissal from the BBC. Because the situation is still developing, many decisions are not confirmed yet.\n\n---\n\n## What's confirmed so far\n\n- On **March 30, 2026**, the BBC announced Scott Mills has been sacked, saying he is *no longer contracted to work with the BBC*. ([itv.com](https://www.itv.com/news/2026-03-30/bbc-radio-presenter-scott-mills-sacked-due-to-personal-conduct?utm_source=openai))  \n- Internal communications at the BBC described his departure as \u201csudden and unexpected.\u201d ([news.sky.com](https://news.sky.com/story/radio-2-dj-scott-mills-sacked-by-bbc-over-personal-conduct-13526018?utm_source=openai))  \n- The BBC has not provided details about precisely what triggered the dismissal. ([itv.com](https://www.itv.com/news/2026-03-30/bbc-radio-presenter-scott-mills-sacked-due-to-personal-conduct?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Specific programs and what may happen\n\nBelow are the likely implications for the two programs you asked about, based on what\u2019s publicly reported so far.\n\n| Program | Mills\u2019s Role | Potential Outcome |\n|---|---|---|\n| **Celebrity Race Across the World** | Mills was a contestant (with his husband Sam Vaughan) in the 2024 *Celebrity Race Across the World* series. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_Race_Across_the_World_series_2?utm_source=openai)) | The series they participated in is already complete; it has aired in full. So their segment will remain in place. If there were future spin-offs or related projects involving Mills (such as a podcast tie-in *Race Across the World: The Detour*), those would be highly likely to be suspended, cancelled, or reworked without him. ([yahoo.com](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/scott-mills-sacked-bbc-radio-104914072.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Eurovision involvement** | Mills has acted as a broadcaster/commentator for Eurovision semi-finals, and has also revealed the UK\u2019s Eurovision entries via his BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show. ([standard.co.uk](https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/scott-mills-sam-ryder-jake-bbc-one-fans-b1227356.html?utm_source=openai)) | With the BBC stating he is no longer contracted, any future Eurovision roles (such as commentary, hosting roles, or announcing UK entries) will likely need to be reassigned to other presenters. Anything already recorded or broadcast (e.g. earlier announcements related to Eurovision 2026) would stand, but moving forward Mills\u2019 position is almost certainly vacant. |\n\n---\n\n## What\u2019s still uncertain or pending\n\n- Whether any projects in development (TV appearances, new series, podcasts) that involve Mills will be officially cancelled, shelved, or changed. For example, there *was* a planned visual podcast to accompany *Race Across the World*, titled *Race Across the World: The Detour*. ([yahoo.com](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/scott-mills-sacked-bbc-radio-104914072.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- How much prior recorded material will still make its way onto air or online\u2014for example, if some episodes or segments have already been produced involving Mills, whether they will be aired.  \n- Which people will take over his roles\u2014other presenters have already stepped in for his radio slots, but what happens to TV slots (like Eurovision commentary) hasn\u2019t been clarified.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can track down whether there has been any official BBC announcement (beyond the sacking) that confirms specific changes to the shows\u2014mostly what *they* are planning."
