Scott Mills, a former BBC Radio 2 host, has been removed as a patron by Neuroblastoma UK, a cancer charity. This decision follows his recent dismissal from BBC Radio 2. The charity has removed Mills as a patron, and his bio is no longer visible on their website.
A spokesperson for Neuroblastoma UK stated that they have parted ways with Scott Mills after his departure from the BBC. They expressed gratitude for his past support and reiterated their commitment to funding research for better treatments and a cure for neuroblastoma.
Initially, Mills supported Neuroblastoma UK after a friend’s daughter was diagnosed with the cancer. He worked to raise awareness and support fundraising efforts for the charity. However, following allegations of personal conduct issues, he was taken off air on BBC Radio 2 and replaced by Gary Davies.
The Metropolitan Police investigated allegations of serious sexual offenses against a teenage boy from 1997 to 2000, but the case was closed in 2019 due to insufficient evidence. The BBC swiftly responded to a complaint by terminating Scott Mills’ contract. The BBC’s director of Music informed staff of his departure from the network.
In a statement, the BBC confirmed that Scott Mills is no longer associated with the organization. Further updates on the situation are pending.
