Theatregoers won't see Scott Mills on stage as he's been removed from his usual pantomime appearance this year. Imagine Theatre confirmed they had no plans to work with the former BBC presenter, making this decision before his dismissal from the corporation. He had reportedly earned a fee of around £190,000 for these shows, taking home about £600,000 over three years.
