Former BBC Radio star Scott Mills has been dealt a further blow just days after his sudden sacking from the broadcaster, where he had worked for over 25 years. A plaque in his honour has now reportedly been removed after a decade on display. The plaque marking the "Scott Mills Bridge" at Fleet Services on the M3 motorway was officially unveiled in March 2016, following a light-hearted campaign on his radio show to get it named after him. However, following the news he had been fired from the BBC, it has disappeared. A driver who stopped at the service station on Thursday, April 2, noticed the plaque no longer bore the star's name, according to Sell Us Your Story.

Mills' long tenure on BBC radio came to an ignominious end after the 53-year-old was taken off-air last week after an allegation was made to the Beeb about his "personal conduct". He was sacked that weekend – just over a year after taking over the main breakfast show from Zoe Ball in 2025, with the news announced on Monday, March 30.

At the time, the BBC said in a statement: "While we do not comment on matters relating to individuals, we can confirm Scott Mills is no longer contracted to work with the BBC."

As further details emerged in the following days, it was claimed bosses reportedly had no choice but to fire him after receiving new information about his alleged conduct.

It was then revealed that the radio DJ was questioned under caution over "serious sexual offences against a teenage boy" back in 2018. The new information involved the same individual, but focused on different claims than those originally investigated, The Mirror reported.

It is believed the BBC assessed the new details and made the decision to terminate Mills' contract, subsequently deciding "he had to go". The Metropolitan Police confirmed that a man in his 40s was questioned by police under caution in July 2018. The investigation related to allegations of "serious sexual offences against a teenage boy", who was under the age of 16.

He added: "As the police have stated, a file of evidence was submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, which determined that the evidential threshold had not been met to bring charges. Since the investigation related to an allegation that dates back nearly 30 years and the police investigation was closed seven years ago, I hope that the public and the media will understand and respect my wish not to make any further public comment on this matter."

Mills concluded: "I wish to thank from the bottom of my heart all those who have reached out to me with kindness, my former colleagues, and my beloved listeners, who I greatly miss."
