Summary
- Scott Mills' BBC sacking casts doubt on his Race Across The World role.
- The DJ was reportedly fired after a 2016 police investigation.
- The BBC has removed all future projects with the presenter.
Scott Mills' involvement in the upcoming Race Across The World series is now uncertain due to his recent sacking from the BBC. The DJ, a winner of the celebrity version and slated to co-host the podcast 'Race Across The World: The Detour', faces an unclear future with the show. His dismissal reportedly stems from a 2016 police inquiry concerning allegations of serious sexual offences.
The BBC has confirmed that Scott Mills will not be involved in any future projects. This decision has caused significant disruption behind the scenes for the Race Across The World podcast, with creators scrambling to decide whether to cancel it or find a replacement.
The sixth civilian series of Race Across The World is scheduled to begin airing on April 2. Mills, who also recently took over the Radio 2 breakfast show, has been removed from other planned BBC work, including his commentary role for the Eurovision Song Contest.
