dailyrecord.co.uk:

Piers Morgan has branded Huw Edwards a 'stand up' guy as he commented on the BBC star's wife's admission that he was the presenter at the centre of the BBC scandal.Huw's wife issued a statement on Wednesday after reports released last week claimed that an at the time 'unnamed' presenter had paid a young person £35,000 for sexually explicit images over the course of three years.The incident reportedly took place when the person was aged 17 until the age of 20, reports the Mirror.Since the admission, three more individuals have spoken out to document their own personal experiences with the presenter including one individual alleging that they met the presenter in their early 20s on a dating app.The person also claimed that they had received a number of "threatening messages" whilst another claimed to receive messages using love hearts and kisses on Instagram when they were 17-years-old.Speaking at the top of his show on Talk TV, Piers said: "He's authoritative and above all, he's always been trusted.

By all accounts, the audiences love him."I know him personally, he's always been a very stand up guy. But today's news that he is the presenter behind the BBC's sex picture scandal comes as a huge shock to everyone who knows him, maybe to his family, certainly to millions of people who are used to watching him on the news each night.

Probably a shock to his colleagues at the BBC."He added: "The speculation was becoming completely unsustainable. Many other BBC presenters were being shamed and vilified on social media, for something they had nothing to do with ..."Viewers would have noticed Huw had vanished overnight from the nightly news bulletins.
