Arsenal<\/a> have removed any mention of disgraced BBC<\/a> presenter Scott Mills from their website after he was due to perform DJ sets at Boyzone<\/a> concerts at the Emirates Stadium this summer.<\/p>\n

In February the club announced that Mills, who was sent packing by the broadcaster two weeks ago following a probe into his personal conduct, was to support the Irish act over two nights.<\/p>\n

However, following the 53-year-old\u2019s sacking, which came seven years after he was investigated by police over alleged sex offences with a boy aged under 16 with the case later closed, any trace of Mills\u2019s name has now been erased from the Gunners\u2019 website – and it is understood that he will no longer be appearing at their North London home in June.<\/p>\n

Boyzone are playing \u2018Two For The Road\u2019 shows at the Emirates on June 5 and 6. Mills had been scheduled to play sets at both shows while S Club and B*Witched were also due to support on each night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On promotional material, Mills was quoted as saying: \u2018What a dream to support the lads this summer, it’s going to be 2 nights of big tunes, big singalongs and plenty of 90s nostalgia. I hope you’re ready!\u2019<\/p>\n

The development comes after the BBC removed a plaque dedicated to Mills from the Radio 1 studio in London. He had been honoured with the silver memento on his final day at Radio 1 in 2022, with studio 82A renamed as 82 Mills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In February it was announced Mills would be supporting Boyzone over two nights at the Emirates, but it is understood that he will no longer be appearing in June<\/p>\n

The plaque was quietly removed over the Bank Holiday weekend, according to The Sun. Mills worked for Radio 1 from 1998 to 2022 before switching to Radio 2 and its flagship Breakfast Show.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Daily Mail Sport also understands that Mills was also scheduled to perform at Leicester Racecourse later this month but was replaced on February 16 – well before his sacking \u2013 \u2018due to unforeseen circumstances\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He will be replaced by\u00a0Denise Van Outen<\/a>\u00a0at the racetrack\u2019s event on April 25.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In recent years Mills has played DJ sets at various Arena Racing Company owned racecourses in Britain straight after racing, including Uttoxeter, Southwell and Great Yarmouth.<\/p>\n
