Scott Mills has been sacked by the BBC, but before he left, his sizeable salary meant he could snap up a house worth over £1 million. The country home is shared with Mills’ husband Sam Vaughn.
Mills was fired from his job as the host of the breakfast show on BBC Radio 2 over an allegation concerning “personal conduct”. This came just six days after he was first removed from the show and replaced by Gary Davies.
His axing means he will no longer be able to cash in his BBC salary, which had been rumoured to be one of the highest at Radio 2. Mills was thought to be earning between £355,000 and £359,000 annually.
It’s since been revealed that the BBC’s decision to sack Scott Mills relates to a 2016 police investigation into “serious sexual offences” against a teenage boy. Mills was questioned by police under caution but the case was dropped because of a lack of evidence. However the Mirror understands the sacking relates to this individual.
