SCOTT Mills married his long-term partner Sam Vaughan in a sun-soaked ceremony in Spain in the summer of 2024.
On March 30, 2026, the news broke that the DJ had been axed by the BBC over reported allegations about his “personal conduct”.
The Beeb said: “While we do not comment on matters relating to individuals, we can confirm Scott Mills is no longer contracted to work with the BBC.”
As reported by the Mirror, Director of Music at the BBC, Lorna Clarke, confirmed the sacking in a statement to staff.
It read: “I wanted to personally let you know that Scott Mills has left the Breakfast show, and the BBC.
“I know that this news will be sudden and unexpected and therefore must come as a shock.
“Not least as so many of us have worked with Scott over a great many years, across a broad range of our programmes on R1, 5Live, R2 and TV.
“I felt it was important to share this news with you at the earliest opportunity.”

“You make me laugh every single day, you support me in so many ways and I adore everything about you.
“As soon as I met you I knew this could be something special and it is (after a slow start).
“We’ve had some amazing times, and I’m bursting with happiness to know we will have so many more. I love you with all my heart.”
Sam posted on Instagram: “The beginning of forever.
“On Saturday the love of my life asked me to marry him and of course I said yes!
