Scott Mills flooded with support as husband marks special anniversary

Scott Mills’ husband marked their second wedding anniversary on Monday with a photo of the couple on their wedding day.

Taking to his Instagram account, Sam Vaughan, who appeared alongside Scott when they won Celebrity Race Across the World in 2024, shared a black and white photograph from when the pair tied the knot in Spain.  “2 years,” Sam penned, alongside a red love heart emoji.

Among the comments were a slew of kind comments from Scott’s celebrity friends, including Rylan Clark, Zoe Ball, and Sara Cox, who is set to take over Scott’s Radio 2 Show after he was let go over “personal conduct” in March.

Both Rylan and Sara replied with a string of red love heart emojis, as did British pop star Pixie Lott. Meanwhile, Zoe penned: “Love you.”

It is the first time Sam has posted something since Scott was sacked by the broadcaster, shortly before it emerged the Metropolitan Police had launched an investigation into the 53-year-old in 2016 over allegations of serious sexual offences involving a teenage boy under 16 between 1997 and 2000.

The BBC confirmed it knew about the police investigation into Mills in 2017, but said it “acted decisively” after receiving “new information” in the weeks before his sacking.

The police investigation was closed in 2019 after prosecutors decided there was insufficient evidence to bring charges.

In April, Mills released a statement through his lawyers saying he had been the subject of “rumour and speculation” since his sacking.

He added that he had “co-operated fully” with the police investigation into the allegations.

Scott ‘to sue’ BBC

The post from Sam came just days after it was revealed that Scott is suing the BBC for unfair dismissal. 

According to reports, the DJ is said to have enlisted leading lawyers as he prepares a legal case following his shock axing from the Radio 2 breakfast show.

Scott is understood to be claiming that he disclosed the full details of the investigation, including the accuser’s age, to BBC executives years ago when the matter first emerged.
