BBC Scotland stars and fans alike have been left gutted after a station stalwart bowed out for the final time.

The Edit, a short entertainment round-up, was axed amid a major shake-up at the broadcaster.

Flagship news programme The Nine was also pulled off air following changes to its News and Current Affairs services.

And last night The Edit found itself on the cutting room floor as hosts David Farrell and Amy Irons bid farewell to the seven o’clock staple.

In an emotional tribute, Heart Scotland host David opened the show by saying: “Roll out the red carpet one more time, it’s time for The Edit.”

He added online: “Over 200 episodes and 500 odd guests later we’ve rolled up that red carpet for good.

“Huge thanks to this amazing team for helping make our little show happen over the last five years.”

The telly duo treated viewers to a compilation of the showbiz show’s most memorable moments.

A montage showed a string of stars from over five years on screens including Lewis Capaldi, Rod Stewart and Dwayne’ The Rock‘ Johnson.

Co-host Amy commented: “It’s been a journey but as the Spice Girls say, ‘It’s not the end. We’ve got 13 minutes left of the show.”

And she wasn’t the only Beeb presenter to chime in on last night’s final curtain.

BBC DriveTime host Fiona Stalker added: “More than five years of explaining and analysing the big stories of the week.

“It was always a privilege. A place of respect where widely differing views could be discussed civilly.

“Thank you to our amazing panellists and BBC Seven Days crew.”

BBC Weather‘s Judith Ralston said: “Och a sad day. Seeing Nick looking so alive and vibrant, heartbreaking.”

And fans were equally gutted as they rushed online to comment on the sad departure.

One wrote: “Seven Days was a great show, really sad to see it go.”

Another added: “Sorry to see it go.”
