Humza Yousaf has paid tribute to BBC presenter and children’s author Nick Sheridan following his death aged 32.
The broadcaster announced Sheridan’s passing in a post on social media website X on Thursday morning (7 March).
Following the news, Scotland’s first minister took a moment to pay tribute to the “extremely talented journalist and author”.
“He will be greatly missed, many of us in this chamber will have been questioned by Nick, quite robustly no doubt,” Mr Yousaf told MEPs in the Scottish Parliament.
“My thoughts are with his family, his many friends and indeed his colleagues at what will undoubtedly be a very sad time.”
Sheridan presented BBC shows including Reporting Scotland, Drivetime, The Nine and Seven Days.
