After days of speculation and allegations against an unidentified BBC star mounting up, including that he paid £35,000 for sexual images of a now 20-year-old, starting from when they were 17 - something raised by their parents. but denied by the youngster themselves.
And it was long serving broadcaster Huw's wife, Vicky who confirmed him as the host at the centre of the accusations saying she was releasing a statement into the public domain 'out of concern for his mental well-being' and to protect the couple's children. Her statement added that was Huw in-patient hospital care where he'll stay for 'the foreseeable future,' having suffered a mental health episode in the last week.
