Yes, it could be the case


I hope CH5 make another Top Drama

Hopefully after years and years of Greg dyke covering things up this is the 1st step taken by the new chief to clean things up.

Scott Mills dropped as charity patron

A charity has decided to end a five-year partnership with broadcaster Scott Mills, following his sacking by the BBC this week.

Former BBC Radio 2 DJ Mills joined childhood cancer charity Neuroblastoma UK as a patron in 2021 after his friend’s daughter was diagnosed with the illness.

He was involved with several of the charity’s campaigns, including Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and World Cancer Day.

However, the charity confirmed today that it would no longer be working with Mills after his BBC sacking yesterday following allegations about his personal conduct.

A spokesperson for the charity said: “Following his dismissal from the BBC, Neuroblastoma UK have taken the decision to part ways with Scott Mills, and he is no longer a patron of our charity.

“We have communicated this decision to Scott and his team, and would like to thank him for his support to date.

“We remain unwavering in our mission to fund research to find better treatments, and a cure, for neuroblastoma.”

The charity has other celebrity patrons, including Alan Carr, who pledged his £87,500 Celebrity Traitors winnings to the organisation last year.

It’s also not the same as being found guilty. But the BBC firing him for it implies they believe he is guilty of something.

Incorrect. It hasn’t been proven he was.

…yeah I understand that but if the media were about to release the story then in view of the controversy that they themselves have been associated with in the past, I’m not sure that the BBC would feel they could stand by him either and sit it out…so I guess, a rock and a hard place scenario…

What proof would you require?

Not enough evidence is different to no case to answer to

His career is now over

Substantial proof it actually happened. Not sure why you’re asking that question.
