BBC removes more Scott Mills content after sacking presenter

  • Top of the Pops episodes presented by Scott Mills have reportedly been removed from the BBC Four schedule following his dismissal in March.
  • Mills was fired after the BBC received new information regarding allegations about his personal conduct, which led to a police investigation in 2016.
  • The Metropolitan Police investigated Mills over allegations of serious sexual offences involving a teenage boy, though no charges were brought due to insufficient evidence.
  • Three Top of the Pops episodes from August 1999, hosted by Mills, are no longer airing on BBC Four and are unavailable on BBC iPlayer.
  • Other content featuring Mills, including his iPlayer Top Picks page and a Spotify podcast, has also been removed, and a plaque honouring him at Fleet Services was taken down.
