Former BBC Radio 2 presenter Scott Mills was questioned by police over allegations of serious sexual offences against a teenage boy in 2018, but the case was dropped due to lack of evidence.

The breakfast show host was abruptly taken off air by the BBC last week before his sacking over allegations related to his “personal conduct” was announced on Monday.
