On March 30, BBC Radio 2 has cut ties with 53-year-old DJ Scott Mills, pulling him from the Breakfast Show last week and confirming his. Dismissal today, the network won't detail the allegations, but reports point to a historic relationship with a man from over 10 years back. Gary Davies, the 68-year-old veteran, stepped in Wednesday morning for Mills' slot and has hosted every weekday since. Davies, known for sounds of the 80s, often fills in for absent DJs, bringing his decades of experience from Radio 1 back in the day. Mills built a solid career at the BBC, starting on Radio 1 in the late 1990s with early breakfast and evening shows, then moving to Radio 2 in 2022 for afternoons before grabbing the Breakfast gig from Zoe Ball this year. He pulls in between 355,000 and 359,999 pounds annually. Staff got an internal email calling the news a shock after years working with him across

stations, and listeners are reeling too, with no word yet on. The show's future. It hits close to Eurovision, where he commentates, forcing a last minute swap. This comes right before a new director general steps in, marking a set an end for Mills, who once celebrated topping the Breakfast charts as his big. Breakthrough after grinding from local gigs.
