How Scott Mills stands to lose a fortune after BBC Radio 2 sacking

The 'financial security' Scott Mills once boasted of is now at risk after the BBC Radio 2 DJ was abruptly relieved of his duties - and his sizeable salary - on Monday morning.Mills, 53, has been fired by the corporation just six days after disappearing from the radio; sources claim his dismissal relates to a 'historic male relationship' with a former colleague.The decision means he will be severed from the BBC payroll, with Mills understood to be one of Radio 2's top earners on a whopping salary of £355,000 to £359,999 a year.The DJ, a popular face at the BBC prior to his dismissal, took over the prominent  breakfast show slot from Zoe Ball in 2025, three years after joining the Radio 2 team after more than 20 years with Radio 1.
