CONTENT WARNING: This article discusses sexual misconduct with a minor.


The “well-known” BBC presenter who was suspended over allegations that he paid a teenager thousands of pounds for explicit photos has been publicly outed by his own wife. During a press conference on Wednesday, prominent Welsh journalist, presenter and newsreader, Huw Edwards, was confirmed to be the person at the centre of the scandal.

His wife, Vicky Flind, released a statement in direct response to the original reporting by The Sun.

“I am making this statement on behalf of my husband Huw Edwards, after what have been five extremely difficult days for our family. I am doing this primarily out of concern for his mental well-being and to protect our children,” she said, per The Guardian.
