HOSPITAL BOOTS OUT DISGRACED STAR
(2000)
DISGRACED ex-Bay City Roller Derek Longmuir has been sacked from his hospital job.
The 49-year-old psychiatric nurse had been suspended by bosses following his high-profile court case last month on child pornography charges.
Last night, a spokeswoman at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary confirmed that Longmuir had lost his job.
She said: "In line with the hospital trust's disciplinary policy and following a formal hearing, staff nurse Derek Longmuir has been dismissed.
"An appeal against this decision has been lodged."
Shamed Longmuir was not available for comment yesterday.
The Seventies chart- topper was sentenced to 300 hours' community service at Edinburgh Sheriff Court after being caught with a vile collection of porn.
Police swooped on the balding bachelor's Edinburgh flat and seized two computers and 73 floppy discs.
Longmuir admitted possessing a mass of child-sex videos, indecent photos and computer images.
Some of the sickening snaps showed children as young as six being sexually abused.
Others showed Portuguese teenager Nelson Queiros, who Longmuir had befriended, naked from the waist down.
