Senior BBC broadcaster: Staff 'gasped' as news of Scott Mills's sacking broke

Scott Mills's sudden sacking by the BBC reportedly relates to a 'historic male relationship', it was claimed today. A senior broadcaster at the BBC has said there is 'total shock' at the corporation after Mills' sacking. There were apparently 'audible gasps' from staff as they were told on Monday morning in an email from BBC director of music Lorna Clarke.
