THE One Show is set to be pulled off-air tonight in Scotland.
The last-minute schedule shake-up sees flagship news programme Reporting Scotland extended until 7.30pm.
Station bosses announced that the evening news bulletin – usually broadcast live from Glasgow‘s Pacific Quay – will tonight be on screens for an extra half an hour.
It comes after today’s bombshell that Humza Yousaf sensationally quit as First Minister of Scotland.
Mr Yousaf dropped his resignation bombshell in a stunning announcement that left the SNP’s minority government in total disarray.
The One Show– fronted by Jermaine Jenas, Roman Kemp and Alex Jones – is set to welcome Strictly star Layton Williams and dance partner Nikita Kuzmin to the sofa this evening.
But in an eleventh-hour change to telly listings, Laura Miller is taking the helm of Reporting Scotland to keep viewers up to date with the latest Holyrood drama.
The news anchor and a Beeb film crew will broadcast tonight’s headlines live from outside the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh.
A station spokesperson said: “Reporting Scotland will be extended by half an hour this evening to provide in-depth coverage of the latest developments from Holyrood.
“The hour-long edition will feature all the latest news and analysis following the announcement from Humza Yousaf that he’s stepping down as First Minister.
“Laura Miller will present the extended edition outside the Scottish Parliament, bringing the latest news on a significant day in Scottish politics.
“The Reporting Scotland team will report on all the events of the day and there’ll be reaction and analysis of what is likely to happen next.”
The schedule will return to normal with EastEnders hitting telly screens at its usual 7.30pm slot.
Earlier this year the BBC announced changes to its News and Current Affairs services in Scotland which included special hour-long editions of Reporting Scotland to cover major news events and stories during the year.
Elsewhere BBC Scotland stars and fans were left gutted after a station stalwart bowed out for the final time.
