Dan Walker has thrown his support behind Huw Edwards, saying he is "clearly not in a good place" after Huw's wife Vicky Flind confirmed he was the previously-unnamed suspended BBC star.
Huw's wife shared a statement this evening, confirming the 61-year-old had been the BBC presenter facing allegations he had paid a teenager £35,000 for sexually explicit images over the course of three years from the age of 17.
In the statement, the presenter's wife also confirmed he was "suffering from serious mental health issues" after being treated for severe depression in recent years. Huw is currently receiving in-patient hospital care after suffering "another serious episode", the statement added.
