One of the UK’s most famous news presenters, Huw Edwards, has been identified by his wife as a BBC presenter who has been suspended over allegations of payment for sexually explicit images.

Edwards has been with the BBC since 1984, is the station’s fourth highest earning presenter and presenter of its flagship news program “News at Ten”. He reported on the biggest events in Great Britain in recent years – he announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September last year. Now he is in the hospital.

The statement appeared on the BBC News website shortly after London Metropolitan Police said there was nothing to indicate a crime had been committed.

“Huw suffers from severe mental health problems. As is well documented, he has been treated for severe depression in recent years,” Flind said. “The events of the last few days have made things much worse, he has suffered another serious episode and is now being cared for in hospital,” she wrote, adding that she hoped the statement would put an end to recent media speculation about other BBC presenters.

He was to pay him 35,000 over three years. pounds (over PLN 180,000). The BBC suspended a “male staff member” after the report and admitted on Sunday that it first became aware of the complaint in May.
