Bbc Anchor Huw Edwards

The BBC Board said in a statement on Friday that the 62-year-old former news anchor had "undermined trust in the BBC and brought us into disrepute".

Former BBC news anchor Huw Edwards, one of the most recognisable faces on UK television, pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of making indecent images of children.

Veteran news anchor Huw Edwards resigned from the BBC on Monday on "medical advice", the broadcaster said, nine months after he became embroiled in a scandal over sexually explicit images involving a teenager.

Veteran news anchor Huw Edwards was on Wednesday revealed by his wife as the BBC presenter accused of paying for explicit images but police said no criminal offence had been committed.

Just seconds before the clock hit 10, a technical glitch interrupted BBC's flagship programme News at 10 leaving its anchor Huw Edwards sitting (and possibly suffering) in silence for 4 long minutes.
