In a surprising twist that would make Paul Hollywood blush, Channel 4 has abruptly shelved an upcoming Celebrity Great British Bake Off episode featuring former Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills. Mills, controversially axed by the BBC last month after nearly two decades of service, had already filmed his appearance on the popular baking spin-off, with the episode originally scheduled for broadcast later this year.

Channel 4's decision comes amid public scrutiny surrounding Mills' sudden departure from the BBC, though representatives have declined to comment on the specific reasoning behind pulling the episode. This isn't the first time the broadcaster has made last-minute Bake Off changes, having previously edited content in 2018. Mills joins a growing list of celebrities whose television appearances have been affected by changing circumstances following filming.
