Channel 4 Cancels Scott Mills Celebrity Bake Off Episode After BBC Firing
Channel 4 canceled a Celebrity Bake Off episode starring Scott Mills after the BBC fired the DJ last month over historical sexual offense allegations. The episode was supposed to be the final show of the 2026 series for Stand Up to Cancer.
Channel 4 has decided not to air the final episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off featuring Scott Mills, the former BBC Radio 2 breakfast show host who was fired last month.
Mills was sacked by the BBC over historical allegations of serious sexual offenses. He had already filmed his appearance on the celebrity version of the popular baking show before the allegations became public.
The canceled episode was meant to be the last show of the 2026 series, which raises money for Stand Up to Cancer. A Channel 4 spokesperson said they "carefully considered the circumstances" before making the decision not to broadcast it.
Mills had been a longtime BBC presenter, hosting the Radio 2 breakfast show before his dismissal. The cancellation means viewers will miss the planned finale of this season's celebrity episodes.
Channel 4 has not announced whether they will replace the episode or simply end the season early.
This shows how serious allegations can quickly end TV careers and cancel already-filmed content. Viewers who were expecting to see Mills on the popular baking show will now miss that episode entirely.
Channel 4 may announce if they'll replace the canceled episode or end the Celebrity Bake Off season without a finale.
