The BBC has terminated presenter Scott Mills' contract after learning that an alleged victim in a police investigation he was involved with was under 16 years old. Mills, a BBC Radio 1 fixture for over two decades, was let go immediately when corporation executives were made aware of this concerning detail.

Mills stated he had "fully cooperated and responded" to the 2018 police investigation but did not directly address the specific allegations. The radio personality emphasized his compliance throughout the process. This development marks a sudden end to Mills' long-standing relationship with the BBC, which has employed him since 1998.
