BBC presenter sacked? Theres only 2 things it could be:
1. Abusive to staff
2. nonce

Is this something that’s happened suddenly? He hasn’t been suspended or anything?

Is there anyone with any sort of gossip from a friend of a friend because my mum wants to know and not even the blabbermouths on twitter have any idea and the woman gave birth to me so I’d like to be able to tell her why the only radio presenter she likes got the boot
Hardingnat on
I wonder where he falls on the scale from JENAS to WALLACE to EDWARDS?
Being sacked for ‘personal conduct’ rather than suspended pending investigation seems to suggest not noncery/abuse adjacent to the job but more likely bad/wrong behaviour within the actual job?

The BBC don’t half have some shit luck with presenters!

15 years ago this man DJd at my sixth form disco and he signed an extremely drunk teenager’s rental tux, which caused issues when they tried to return it.

Personal conduct? What as in he was personally conducting his secretary’s physical?

Didn’t have ‘Scott Mills is in the Epstein Files’ on my bingo card for this week.

Scott was nearly sacked by the BBC for getting badly drunk at one of the Brit Awards ceremonies, has history repeated itself?

I liked him at first but as time went on he gave off mad Ellen Degeneres vibes imo.

What did he do, go on a murderous rampage and leave the bodies in full view? If he was just noncing then there’d be an “Internal investigation that shows no evidence of wrongdoing” because you know, its the BBC..

I worked with a guy years ago who wouldn’t really say what happened, but he said he’d be sacked if it ever came out what he’d been up to in clubs.
Apparently he was a massive coke head.
This was back in Birmingham in around 2008-09

Probably bad of me to think “I knew this guy with the dead shark eyes and too much work on his face for radio was a wrongun.”

I reckon it’s dickhead behaviour. He doesn’t seem like the nonce type but he definitely seems like an arrogant prick. But was it sexual or violence. I’m saying all this and it may turn out he just expensed hookers or something like that.

Did the Beeb say ‘love you, bye’ as they sacked him?

Just need to sack Jeremy vine for being a cunt now.

He was slurring his words on one of his shows last week during the phone in for the quiz. Was quite obvious.

Wonder if Welcome Break will be renaming the bridge at Fleet Services they named after him.

This is the answer:
“After snorting coke, Mills abused a co-worker and her son, then fingered a hooker, drove under the influence, broke into someone’s house and stole their jewelry, all while not declaring income to HMRC.”

I wonder if he’ll still be doing the Eurovision semi-finals this year.

Hurrah! no more Scott Mills at work in the morning
Ok-Nobody-2729 on
As much I actually like Scott Mills in the breakfast slot he isn’t the best we’ve had in it.
Also this close to Eurovision it’s actually a good send he won’t be on now

Must have been absolutely heinous if the BBC were forced to sack him for it.
They let Savile/Edwards/Westwood commit noncery under their roof for years and did nothing but sweep the carpet.
TheManWithSaltHair on
His 1999 TOTP repeats have just started on BBC4. He found them embarrassing so decided to get himself cancelled so they can’t show them.
craggsy on
I met Scott Mills at a Tesco in London the other week. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a dick and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Creme Eggs in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the eggs and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each egg and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I dunno, for it to be so quick it must just be something internal. If it was noncery, grooming etc. surely theyd suspend and wait for a police report?
Electrical_Wish_8530 on
Hopefully they’ll get someone decent in now for the morning show
Capital-Hornet6194 on
I heard he stole all those KitKats and tried to sell them in the staff canteen
Airurando-jin on
I would imagine it’s likely some form of substance abuse, likely alcohol.
Personal conduct is likely then related to being drunk on the job and bringing BBC into disrepute.
He could have fallen into the coke trap, trying to keep up with too much work in one go.
In either direction he didn’t suddenly arrive here and his agent etc. could have perhaps prevented this somewhat, or delivered better damage control.
D2agonSlayer on
Make sure to back up every piece of licence payer funded content he ever featured in if it’s of any interest to you before they make it unavailable and pretend history never happened.
Afternoon_Kip on
Next camp ex radio one DJ off the rank to replace him.
Empathica-21 on
Although it’s the BBC I can’t see him being a peado. The longer he was on the radio, the more I got mean girl energy from him.
Suspect it’s either drugs or alcohol related or he’s just England’s version of Ellen Degeneres
DandyLionsInSiberia on
Without the facts, it is all a bit pointless, and in an age hooked on bad information, guessing just adds to the sludge, really .
Even so, there is a clear pattern of old school BBC names either being nudged out or heading for the exit, usually over some ancient dust-up dragged back into the light or a half-buried allegation that is too vague to fight (eg – Kaye Adams)
Some just seem exhausted by the whole thing and walk.
None of it bodes especially well for the BBC in the long run.
kuklinka on
If work-based it’s called gross misconduct (bbc staffer)
drabgail on
Like the rest of you I am most interested in what the Scott Mills bridge at Fleet Services will be renamed to.

Well, let’s just hope it’s Coke or punching his boss or something stupid but forgivable.
