Scott Mills Dropped From Ibiza Symphonica and £190,000 Panto Role as Fallout Deepens

The rapid cancellations highlight reputational risk after the BBC cited new information.

Overview

  • Ibiza Symphonica in Harrogate said Friday it had removed Mills from its August 15 concert, citing the “serious nature” of allegations reported in recent weeks.
  • Pantomime producer Imagine Theatre confirmed there are no plans to hire Mills for the 2026–27 season, ending a role reported to pay about £190,000 a year.
  • Broadcasters and organisers have also pulled appearances, with Channel 4 replacing his Celebrity Bake Off episode and event listings removing his planned DJ slots.
  • The BBC said it terminated his contracts after receiving new information, while a 2016 Metropolitan Police inquiry led to no charges after prosecutors found the evidence threshold was not met.
  • BBC pay data shows Mills earned £355,000–£359,999 in 2024–25, and the corporation has not announced a permanent Radio 2 replacement.
