SCOTT Mills’ “work wife” Tina Daheley has revealed the exact date she’ll be back on air as she returns to Radio 2 without him.
It was revealed this week that the fan-favourite host, 53, had been fired from his Radio 2 Breakfast Show over allegations surrounding his “personal conduct“.
It then came to light how Scott’s sacking was linked to a complaint about a 2016 police probe into historic “serious sexual offences” against a teenage boy, with the timeline of proceedings showing the BBC took seven years to act.
The BBC yesterday admitted they’d known about the presenter’s ‘sex offences’ probe for nine years – but only sacked him last week after ‘new information’ came to light.
At the same time Scott’s BBC work colleague Tina, 44, told why she had gone “missing” amid her “awful week”.
She has now confirmed when she will be back on air – yet of course her return will be without Scott.
As yet, it is unknown who will replace him on the Breakfast Show slot, yet we told how there was a “frantic scramble” to fill the hot seat.
Tina wrote on Instagram of her recent illness and put: “Good news is I’m over the worst of it and looking forward to spending two weeks with my family over the Easter hols from tomorrow after what’s been an incredibly difficult past week.
“I’ll be back on the radio Tuesday 21st April.”
In her social media post, she also shared a photo of herself in bed with a cup of tea and wrote: “Good morning! Just about recovered from this awful cold/flu.
“I’ve had for the past week (being parent to a primary school aged child is like having a subscription service to viruses!).”
She reads the early-morning news on the show and often contributes to lively discussions.
Tina is also a regular stand-in presenter for the Radio 2 Jeremy Vine show.
She joined the BBC back in 2007.
It comes after Scott’s podcast was pulled by the BBC.
His Mercedes-Benz Vans Under the Bonnet: On the Road podcast has also been taken off Spotify.
Scott Mills Scandal in Brief
SCOTT Mills has been sacked from BBC Radio 2 – yet what’s happening?
The four part series created in 2025 with the Under the Bonnet report, shone the spotlight on varying issues for van drivers including everything from road conditions to mental health.
Scott has previously opened up on his own mental health battles and the podcast saw him reveal how 65 per cent of drivers had also struggled.
Yet when users search for it on Spotify, from a Google link that previously worked, a caption now states: “Couldn’t find that podcast.
“Search for something else?”
The BBC have also removed him from a Race Across The World podcast and pulled scenes he filmed for EastEnders.
Yesterday, we exclusively reported how charity Neuroblastoma UK dropped him as a patron.
Recently, we reported how Scott had been wiped from the BBC’s social media.
Meanwhile, the BBC have admitted they’ve known about a police probe into Scott for NINE years – but let him keep his job until this week.
Officials decided to keep him on air for nearly a decade after he informed them of the investigation – before suddenly dismissing him over the weekend.
It comes after it transpired the broadcaster was questioned by police under caution in 2018 – when he was in his 40s, the Mirror reports.
The interview was related to alleged offences which took place between 1997 and 2000.
The case was dropped in full due to a lack of evidence.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told The Mirror: “In December 2016, the Met began an investigation following a referral from another police force.
“The investigation related to allegations of serious sexual offences against a teenage boy.”
The spokesperson said a man, who was in his 40s at the time of the interview, was questioned by police under caution in July 2018.
“A full file of evidence was submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, who determined the evidential threshold had not been met to bring charges,” the Met said.
“Following this advice, the investigation was closed in May 2019.”
The allegations, which did not result in any charges, were reported to have taken place between 1997 and 2000.
Last night, Scott released his own statement on the matter and confirmed he was quizzed by cops.
He also thanked his “beloved listeners”.
Scott began at Radio 1 in 1998 presenting the early morning slot before earning his own breakfast show The Scott Mills Show.
A BBC spokesperson told The Sun: “While we do not comment on matters relating to individuals, we can confirm Scott Mills is no longer contracted to work with the BBC.”
