‘The Great Celebrity Bake Off’ Pulls Scott Mills Episode

Channel 4 has pulled the last episode of “The Great Celebrity Bake Off” because it features former BBC DJ Scott Mills.

“Having carefully considered the circumstances, we’ve taken the decision not to air the final episode of the 2026 series of ‘The Great Celebrity Bake Off’ for Stand Up to Cancer, featuring Scott Mills,” said a spokesperson for the network. “Acknowledging the seriousness of the accusations that have been made against Scott, we don’t believe it would be appropriate to air the episode at this time. An alternative episode of ‘Celebrity GBBO’ will go out in its place.”

Mills was fired from the BBC last week after it emerged he had once been investigated over a historic sexual offense involving a teenage boy in 2017. No charges were brought and the investigation was dropped.

He was hired in 2025 to take over from Zoe Ball “The Big Breakfast Show” on Radio 1. The BBC confirmed after his firing that they had been aware of the investigation before he was hired but said “new information” had come to light that made his continued employment untenable.

Among the celebrities taking part alongside Mills in the celebrity spin-off were JoJo Siwa, Sugababes singer Mutya Buena and actors Rose Ayling-Ellis and Ambika Mod, among others.
