The BBC has admitted to the Telegraph that it knew of allegations against Scott Mills almost a year ago but failed to investigate.

The corporation had claimed it terminated the Radio 2 presenter's contract as soon as it learned of the allegations of serious sexual offences against a teenage boy between 1997 and 2000.

But as The Telegraph's associate editor Gordon Rayner tells The Daily T, a former BBC presenter contacted the corporation in May 2025 to say she had received information about alleged “inappropriate communications” involving Mills.

She did not receive a response, and today the BBC admitted her information “should have been followed up and we should have asked further questions”. We explore what this latest scandal means for the beleaguered broadcaster.
