The wife of renowned journalist Huw Edwards names him as the BBC anchor at the center of a controversy that kicked off days of media speculation
The longtime BBC anchor, one of the network’s highest-earning stars, has led coverage of some of the biggest stories in the UK in recent years, including the death of Queen Elizabeth II last September, royal weddings, elections and the 2012 Summer Olympics.
She also said Edwards “was first told that there were allegations being made against him last Thursday” and that he intends to respond “once well enough to do so.” The case, which has dominated the British news agenda this week, emerged when The Sun newspaper reported Friday that a mother had accused an unnamed presenter of paying for sexually explicit photographs from her teenage child, who was 17 when contact was first made, and who is now 20.
