“Utterly Deplorable”: BBC Presenters Round On Huw Edwards After His Bombshell Fall From Grace


Jeremy Vine and Nicky Campbell are among the BBC presenters who turned on Huw Edwards after he pleaded guilty to child pornography charges this week.

Those who have made their views known include Nicky Campbell, the seasoned Radio 5 Live presenter, and Nicholas Witchell, the recently departed BBC royal correspondent, who sat next to Edwards during coverage of the Queen’s death and other national moments. Jennie Bond, a former BBC Royal correspondent, told Vine’s show: “Frankly, if Huw has any dignity left then he would hand some of the money back, certainly the 200 grand he has made since his arrest. “She sought assurance that the BBC has robust processes in place regarding non-editorial complaints, and the handling of complex contractual matters, so that in future it can act at pace and be transparent with the public at the earliest opportunity to ensure trust is maintained.”
