Crazy how most of the country seemed to know this, was genuinely surprised when I first saw but it seemed to come up so often it was almost certainly him.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

He is currently in hospital receiving care for “serious mental health issues” according to the BBC news.

'Vicky Flind, the wife of news reader Huw Edwards, has named him as the BBC presenter facing allegations over payments for sexually explicit images in a statement issued on his behalf.'


So not really dobbed him in.

This has become such an unsightly mess too. Regardless of the rights and wrongs, there are people in the media who seem to have acted badly beyond the man in question.

It will be really interesting in a way how the fallout from this blows across different groups.

She didn't 'dobb' him in.

He's had a breakdown and has been hospitalised. She's done this to stop the speculation and help him.

The statement doesn't actually admit to anything untoward on Huw's part. The apology is for the impact on colleagues.

Yes, not an initially announced that way but OP now updated.

What a horrible mess. Worth re-emphasising that there’s no suggestion of illegal activity too.

Doesn't matter now. Police could clear him completely and his career is over because the amateur detectives on twitter have decided that he is a nonce.

I can only assume that now the Sun will be going after any celebrity that has ever paid for OnlyFans.

Off the back of the Sun reporting an un-named presenter was such. There’s going to be all sorts of fallout from this isn’t there? I don’t think the possibility to sue (if that is possible given they didn’t name him) should be seen as a get out. They shouldn’t be able to make unsubstantiated allegations in the first place.

Became pretty obvious when it was announced as a top male presenter on tv, and all other candidates ruled themselves out.

As far as this has gone nothing illegal has gone on, the Met said so.

" Her statement came shortly after the Metropolitan police said there was no evidence that Edwards committed a criminal offence, and the force would end its inquiries relating to the case."

Bit like Schofield, morally bad and scandalous but he hasn't done anything to break the law.

It's like modern day witch hunts, try to smear it with something sinister and peado with a big dash of homophobia because they were both dabbling with young men.

They are more likely to go with 'Have I Got Huws For You' or 'Not The Nine O'Clock Huws', which will only serve to emphasise that comedy programmes are more reliable sources of what the news is than The Sun.

It should be possible to sue, regardless of whether the Sun report his name.

10 or so years ago the BBC got sued by Lord McAlpine despite not actually naming him. People were able to deduce through multiple sources who was being talked about and the BBC still made unfounded accusations. If the Sun have done the same, then they would in theory still be just as liable.

I have been talking today with refugees about the horrors unfolding in Sudan and wonder why something like the private antics of a journalist has been dominating our news for several days. It's almost as if Murdoch sets the news agenda.

Johnson refusing to hand over his phone or unlock it doesn’t seem to have been mentioned much either.

I’m not really following it but I thought the contact was with a then 17 year old? I would describe 17 as young, certainly relative to him.

Not suggesting there’s anything criminal about it, I don’t know the ins and outs and the police appear to have concluded he’s done nothing legally wrong. But not sure what your angle is when you’re nitpicking at the use of the word ‘young’ to describe a 17 year old to be honest.
