BBC consumer show X-Ray is set to be axed after 22 years. Its presenter Lucy Owen said that the decision has left her "very sad". The programme, which sought justice for consumers, was first aired in 2001 and has been presented by journalist Owen since 2007. According to BBC Wales, the decision comes as growth in its online services meant "tough editorial and financial decisions" were needed in order to grow its digital content.
X-Ray will finish once the latest series comes to an end, with the last episode set to air on BBC One Wales on Monday, March 27 and will be repeated two days later. In response to the axe, Lucy took to Twitter to express her views. On Wednesday, she tweeted: "I'm very sad but will always be enormously proud of the work we've done getting your money back, exposing rogues and bringing criminals to justice, all thanks to every dedicated and committed member of the team over our 22 years. Thank you [BBC X-Ray]".
