The Radio 2 presenter was sacked by the BBC last month over allegations of sexual offences.
Mills, 53, had already filmed The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer and was due to appear alongside singer Rag'n'Bone Man, DJ Edith Bowman and JLS star Aston Merrygold.
Channel 4 said it had "carefully considered the circumstances" and made the decision "not to air" the episode.
It said: "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."
"An alternative episode of Celebrity GBBO will go out in its place."

It comes after the DJ was dropped from the line-up for two upcoming concerts by Irish band Boyzone in June.
Mills was due to perform as the "special guest DJ" but has since been removed from the bill although it is not clear whether he was removed or made the decision himself.
He also stepped back from his role as an ambassador for MS Society UK, a multiple sclerosis charity, in wake of the allegations.
The allegations against Mills are reported to have taken place between 1997 and 2000 when the presenter was in his twenties. He joined Radio 1 as a presenter in 1998.
In 2018 the police questioned the presenter over allegations of historic sexual offences against a teenage boy but closed the investigation in 2019 due to a lack of evidence.
The BBC sacked the presenter in March 2026, stating "new information" about his actions had recently come to light.

In a statement last week, Mills said: "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 seven years ago, I hope the public and the media will understand and respect my wish not to make any further public comment."
