Amy joined Heart back in 2023, quickly becoming a firm favourite with her mid-morning show as she graced the airwaves weekdays from 10am-1pm.
But the popular broadcaster has made the big decision to step down from her DJing duties.
Announcing her departure live on air, Amy told listeners: "I've got something to tell you. Just like that, it is time for me to say goodbye to you after two fantastic years here at Heart. It is time for me to move on to what is my next chapter."
Known for more than just her radio voice, Amy is the daughter of former Scottish football player and manager, Davie Irons.
She's a familiar face to footie fans as a host for BBC Scotland and a trackside reporter for Premier Sports.
She's also an anchor for the Beeb's Reporting Scotland: News at Seven and one half of the hit Sacked in the Morning podcast with Craig Levein.
On top of that, Irons has also appeared on Sports Personality of the Year, The Adventure Show and the channel's Hogmanay broadcasts.
It's not yet known who will step into her mid-morning spot on Heart.
Hinting at her replacement, Amy said: "And to my good pal taking over on Monday, I'm going to let her announce the news herself but I will be listening and cheering her on from the sidelines."
Addressing her loyal listeners, she added: "Thank you to you for unknowingly being such a brilliant support to me over the last couple of years. There's been lots of ups and downs but I have loved being with you every single weekday. I can at least pretend some of you laughed at some of my terrible jokes."

Taking to Instagram, Amy wrote "After two years hosting mid mornings on Heart Scotland the time has come for me to say cheerio for now! Will miss the fantastic team and lovely listeners, it truly has been a joy. I'm very excited for what comes next and can't wait to tell you all about it."
Scores of fans quickly flooded the comments to wish her well.
One wrote: "What a star, good luck & can't wait to see what you do next."
Another added: "Awww good luck with whatever is next I'm sure you will be amazing as always."
