Newsreader Huw Edwards has revealed that when he told BBC bosses he had depression he was met with “deep freeze silence” – and was stunned by a colleague’s explanation.
Huw, 60, says: “One of my colleagues used a phrase which I can use because I was at the receiving end of it and it’s not meant to cause offence in any way.
“One of them said to me, ‘Well, you know, the BBC doesn’t really want people to think there’s a nutter reading the 10 o’clock news’.
