BBC removes Huw Edwards from iPlayer shows after guilty plea
ok.co.ukThe BBC is urgently removing all traces of disgraced former news presenter Huw Edwards from its archives, following his admission to three charges of making indecent images of children.
The TV personality, 62, was once one of the BBC's top news anchors, earning over £470,000 and presenting News at Ten for several years.
He was also the face of many significant national events, including announcing the Queen's death in September 2022. Less than a year later, the Welshman was off-air after being identified as the famous figure involved in allegations that an unnamed but well-known BBC presenter had paid a teenager more than £35,000 since they were 17 in exchange for images.
In April, he officially resigned from his role at the BBC, and on Wednesday, he pleaded guilty to possessing 41 indecent images of children sent to him by another man via WhatsApp.
