Viewers have expressed their devastation after BBC presenter Tom Heap revealed his Sky News show had been cancelled, says Metro News.

The Countryfile host, 58, presented the last episode of The Climate Show on Saturday and announced it had been axed after two years on air.

Tom shared the clip of his ‘pithy final line’, prompting an outpouring of disappointment from his X follower who branded the show ‘important’ amid the escalating [Talkshop comment – only in the media?] climate change crisis.

Confused over the show’s end, account @Earth2075 remarked: ‘Why? It seems now is a more important time than ever.’
. . .
Ending the final The Climate Show, Tom said: ‘And that is it for The Climate Show. This is our final outing.’
