BBC issues update on Huw Edwards’ salary

BBC requests Huw Edwards to refund salary after he admitted to making indecent images of children. Edwards, a former BBC presenter, pleaded guilty to three counts of the offence. The BBC faced criticism for continuing to pay him after his arrest in November 2023 until he left in April 2024. Edwards, who earned £475,000 annually, had 377 images on his phone. The BBC board supports seeking the return of the funds and will conduct an independent review on workplace culture. Edwards’ behaviour was condemned by the BBC chairman as a betrayal of trust.
