The final Great Celebrity Bake Off episode has been pulled - as it features sacked BBC host Scott Mills

The final episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer has been cancelled over allegations made against Scott Mills.

The former Radio 2 DJ, who was sacked by the BBC over an accusation relating to his "personal conduct", appears on the Channel 4 show.

A spokesperson for the broadcaster said: "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.

"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."

Channel 4 has confirmed that an alternative episode of the show, which has been airing weekly since 22 March, will be broadcast instead.

It emerged after his BBC sacking that the Metropolitan Police had launched an investigation into Mills in 2016 over "allegations of serious sexual offences against a teenage boy" between 1997 and 2000.

Mills was not charged, according to police, as the Crown Prosecution Service determined that the "evidential threshold had not been met".

BBC News reported that the presenter had been dismissed after it emerged that the alleged victim was under 16.

On Tuesday, it was revealed that Mills was "stepping back" from his role as an ambassador for a multiple sclerosis charity over the historic allegations.

He has also been dropped as the host of the BBC's new Race Across The World spin-off podcast.

In his first public statement since his sacking, Mills said: "The recent announcement that I am no longer contracted to the BBC has led to the publication of rumour and speculation."

He went on to say: "An allegation was made against me in 2016 of a historic sexual offence, which was the subject of a police investigation in which I fully cooperated and responded to in 2018.

"As the police have stated, a file of evidence was submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, which determined that the evidential threshold had not been met to bring charges.

"Since the investigation related to an allegation that dates back nearly 30 years and the police investigation was closed 7 years ago, I hope that the public and the media will understand and respect my wish not to make any further public comment on this matter."
