The BBC has apologized for not looking into separate allegations relating to Scott Mills, the radio presenter who was fired amid historical sexual misconduct claims.
The BBC was contacted by freelance journalist Anna Brees in May 2025 regarding information she had received about alleged “inappropriate communications” involving Mills.
The Daily Telegraph reported that Brees asked the BBC if there were ever “formal or informal complaints” about Mills, “relating to safeguarding, inappropriate conduct or harassment.” She did not receive a response.
In a statement on Tuesday, the BBC said: “We received a press query in 2025 which included limited information. This should have been followed up and we should have asked further questions. We apologise for this and will look into why this did not happen. More broadly, we would always urge anyone who has concerns or information to raise it with us.”
