  • Channel 4 has announced it will not air the upcoming episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off featuring Scott Mills.
  • The decision follows Mills' dismissal from the BBC in March due to "allegations about his personal conduct".
  • The Metropolitan Police investigated Mills in 2016 over allegations of serious sexual offences involving a teenage boy under 16.

  • The BBC said it terminated Mills' contract after receiving "new information" in the weeks leading up to his sacking.
