Huw Edwards Revealed as BBC Star at Centre of Sex Pics for Cash Scandal

Well knock me down with an inflatable dinosaur.

BBC News at Ten anchor Huw Edwards has been revealed as the high profile presenter at the centre of the sex pics for cash scandal currently playing out in The Sun newspaper.

I never saw that one coming.

Vicky Flind, Edwards' wife, released the following statement via the BBC this afternoon: "In light of the recent reporting regarding the 'BBC Presenter' I am making this statement on behalf of my husband Huw Edwards, after what have been five extremely difficult days for our family.

"I am doing this primarily out of concern for his mental well-being and to protect our children.

"Huw is suffering from serious mental health issues. As is well documented, he has been treated for severe depression in recent years.

"The events of the last few days have greatly worsened matters, he has suffered another serious episode and is now receiving in-patient hospital care where he'll stay for the foreseeable future.

"Once well enough to do so, he intends to respond to the stories that have been published.

"To be clear Huw was first told that there were allegations being made against him last Thursday.

"In the circumstances and given Huw's condition I would like to ask that the privacy of my family and everyone else caught up in these upsetting events is respected.

"I know that Huw is deeply sorry that so many colleagues have been impacted by the recent media speculation. We hope this statement will bring that to an end."

In related news the Metropolitan Police has said that it will be taking no further action in relation to the original allegations, that Evans had obtained sexual images from a 17-year-old male.

Given Evans' current predicament I won't be commenting again for the time being.

In the short term, I hope he gets the treatment he needs and wish him a speedy recovery.
