Would you listen to Scott creating his own station? A bit like The Howard Stern Show on Sirius?

It was well publicised his comments. Somehow he managed to jump from one scandal to the next and built his reputation on being a shock jock.

Didn't expect Scott on the front pages again tomorrow

Channel 4 care about mental health and Be Kind until it comes to these sorts of decisions.

Sad that he's stepped back from the MS charity, I know that's a cause close to his heart. https://news.sky.com/story/scott-mills-stepping-back-from-ms-society-charity-role-after-bbc-sacking-13528995

I wonder if anyone will turn it down in solidarity with Scott. Not everyone is going to feel comfortable taking over in the circumstances. When Scott took over he had Zoes blessing.

He's been dropped from the Boyzone gigs now 😞 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-15712001/Scott-Mills-removed-Boyzone-gig-Arsenal-stadium-star-sacked-BBC.html

Apparently the next boss will be holding an inquiry into who knew what https://inews.co.uk/news/media/new-bbc-boss-loop-scott-mills-sacking-4332566

According to Katie Hind..... As for the man himself, it's not known how much contact Mills' friends have had with him recently. I'm told he has spent 'a great deal of time with lawyers' as he decides what to do about his future – and not just any lawyers. He's hired the aggressive London-based legal firm Level, known for being ruthless when representing celebrity clients. There's even talk that he could sue the BBC for unfair dismissal. https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15706353/scott-mills-bbc-radio-showbiz-beeb-rylan-clark-investigation.html#google_vignette

Time for some positivity. What has been your highlight of Scott on R1 and R2? I thought the musical was brilliant. And his take on Radio 1 masterpieces playing Britney and Busted.

The Sun says the 'victim' remained friends with Scott for years after alleged incident and that friends knew who he was. https://www.thesun.ie/tv/16779670/scott-mills-sex-abuse-victim-friends-sacked-dj/

There seems to quite a backlash from some listeners wanting to boycott Radio 2 over Scott's removal. I am sure it is small, but a headache for bosses

People in glass houses. Plenty of scandal about him.

There's no doubt it was going to blow up in the newspapers, but I mean it has anyway.

From the Mail Online It is understood this information was already known to police when the investigation into Mills was closed. There had been at least four other discussions between Scotland Yard and the BBC dating back to January 2017. The allegations were first made to Hampshire police in 2016, involving claims of non-recent sexual offences against a teenage boy. Police have said the alleged victim fell into the age bracket 13 to 16 years old. It is believed Mills and the alleged complainant met online. The investigation was passed from Hampshire to the Met in December 2016 and Mills, then presenting on Radio 1, was invited to attend a London police station for questioning, rather than being arrested. So the new information isn't really new and was already investigated. Think the BBC may ultimately regret their decision. But given the events of this week they may feel they had little choice. The court of social media seems to decide irrespective or facts. Could he have survived all this publicity?
