I don't think it's that her parents weren't the best, I think it's more the fact she was swept away to have a pop career at such a young age and they were probably tied to her younger sisters at home in Swindon, miles away. It was before the days of social media and having constant access to a mobile phone. You're right, maybe he made her feel safe in the midst of the world of stardom, especially after the abuse she'd suffered at the hands of 5ive fans whilst dating Ritchie, which was awful. I remember seeing her perform at the Smash Hits tour that 5ive headlined and you couldn't hear her above the boos - it was disgusting.
Boyband fans are awful to 'their' boys' girlfriends. Just look at the comment section when Harry Styles is pictured with Zoe Kravitz or Louis Tomlinson is out and about with Zara McDermott. The hate Liam Payne's girlfriend got when he died was horrendous. I'm not surprised Billie felt she needed comfort and safety, and with Evans being a proper grown up, he was able to provide that.

From reading her book even before fame, she was 'dating' older Men including the security person at the holiday site she spent time at.
Sure she was 14/15 and he was in his 20s

It sounds like all those ‘sources’ know as little as the rest of us. Being angry at BBC bosses without knowing what information they had. Funny how Scott isn’t telling his friends what it was, isn’t it? If it’s all over ‘nothing’?

I really dislike the below - it’s suggesting that his friend thinks the allegation is unlikely to be true because nobody else has come forward? That’s a really damaging mindset to have. That because there is only one victim, the allegation is less credible or severe? No floodgates, no problem?


While it’s obviously not known if the circumstances are in any way comparable, friends of Mills are quick to point out that when Edwards’ behaviour was exposed, there were others who came forward to tell of their own experiences at the hands of the star. ‘But with Scott, there has been nothing, nobody else has come forward,’ says the friend. There are no more claims of any bad or creepy behaviour.
‘With Huw, the floodgates really opened, but this hasn’t been the case with Scott.’
But it’s true, there hasn’t been people coming forward.

Doesn’t mean he’s innocent, just means he wasn’t doing a lot.

Billie and Chris Evans is an age gap marriage, that’s a legal relationship between 2 adults, even if you don’t like it.
It’s not the same as the tabloid newspapers and Moyles going on about a 15/16 year old girl perking over her and her being “rear if the year” when she turned 16 on the front of all the papers etc.

How would he get a super-injunction approved anyway? They usually give them to people where there’s a secret love child involved, and it would be damaging for the child for the story to run. You can’t just get a court to grant an injunction against mean unkind articles, otherwise there would be nothing printed.

Could it be to protect the victim/survivor? If they were only 13 at the time and all this was apparently common knowledge amongst his social circles, it could be to stop them being named for their own protection and privacy- they very well may have their own children to protect these days :(

It’s unlikely because the victim (who is now an adult) wouldn’t be named in the press.
The chances of the victim applying for an injunction and getting it are even more remote than Scott getting it. And that wouldn’t stop other stories about Scott and others, anyway (If there were any).

I'm not so sure on the Scott bit given that injunctions have previously been granted in some very questionable circumstances

We don’t know this, the police keep saying serious sexual offences for all we know this amounts to 100s of rapes/sexual incidents over the period, it might not be. But you can’t equate number of victims to severity automatically, we don’t know enough to know if there’s actually any others that have never reported things and have moved on.
It could be just the one person we know about but it’s impossible to say just because no one else has come forward yet that’s it.

Yes but the friend isn’t saying anything untrue, there’s only been one victim so far. How people read into that is a different thing. If anything, it could inspire people to come forward who hadn’t been sure whether to.

Private eye are one of the very few outlets left that actually have integrity. They say super injunctions have been a thing of the past for quite a while, but there's a perception that they're still prevalent.

There was that recent MOD one with the leaking of Afghan details. That was for security rather than celeb gagging, but that's the exception rather than the rule.

The victim doesn't need an injunction becauae they get one by default under the law. They can never be legally named unless they waive their anonymity themselves.

As said, superinjunctions for anything other than national security essentially don't exist any more, and even during the heyday of them there weren't many and you wouldn't have been able to get them about something like this.

Wouldn't be surprised if they just have Gary Davies do it for now and then announce a full time replacement at a later point when they do a wider presenter reshuffle.

Apologies if it's been discussed, because I haven't been following the thread, but today I saw various outlets reporting that Scott Mills's lucrative pantomime deal isn't been renewed. Apparently his contract had been for Jack and the Beanstalk at £190,000 a year for three years. I'm amazed at all the high value extra work add ons available to fairly low level(ish) celebrities.

I love Gary and he was great whenever in stand-in for Scott or Vernon but since the regular quiz, birthday tunes, one minute shout-outs have stopped the show is just not the same. I would be happy if Gary did stay but the show needs new things as it is just music and a couple of people ringing in

I had heard that the panto leads, like with Scott, paid a lot of money and that alone would be enough for the year. I hadn’t realised it was that amount though!

BBC are struggling to get Strictly hosts sorted. I will keep saying it but move Greg James over before he gets even older for Radio 1. They can move Matt and Mollie to Radio 1 breakfast.

I reckon it’ll be either Sarah or Vern, then they’ll shuffle a few others around or bring someone new into the mix. If I had to put money on it, I’d go with Vern as I’ve got a feeling Sarah won’t fancy the early mornings.
All based on absolutely nothing… just a feeling I can’t really justify in any way.

According to the sun:

In the past three years, Scott made around £600,000 as Mayor Mills in Jack And The Beanstalk shows in Leicester, Swansea and High Wycombe thanks to his £190,000 fee.

The state of the media is dire so you can't trust anything they say. That seems like a crazy amount.

French and Saunders are getting 250k each for playing the weird sisters in the London Palladium. That sounds more beleivable with their names and a well known large theatre.
