It comes after the Metropolitan Police confirmed that Mills was questioned in 2018 over allegations of serious sexual offences against a boy who was aged under 16, relating to incidents reported to have taken place between 1997 and 2000. The investigation began in 2016 and was later closed in 2019 due to lack of evidence.
"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.
"I wish to thank from the bottom of my heart all those who have reached out to me with kindness, my former colleagues, and my beloved listeners, who I greatly miss."
"As part of these enquiries, a man who was in his 40s at the time of the interview, was questioned by police under caution in July 2018.
On Wednesday 1 April, the BBC confirmed that it knew about the police investigation in 2017, but said that it had "acted decisively" after receiving fresh information in recent weeks and terminated his contract on Friday (27 March).
"We also recognise there’s been much speculation in the media and online since Monday. We hope people understand that there is a limit to what we can say because we have to be mindful of the rights of those involved.
"The BBC has made a significant commitment to improve its culture, processes and standards. Last year, following an independent culture review, we set out the behavioural expectations for everyone who works with or for the BBC and we were clear action would be taken if these were not met.
