BBC removes Huw Edwards from iPlayer shows after guilty plea


Huw Edwards admitted to three charges of making indecent images of children on Wednesday and now his BBC career is set to be deleted from the corporation's archives

The BBC is urgently removing all traces of disgraced former news presenter Huw Edwards from its archives, following his admission to three charges of making indecent images of children. "While we don't routinely delete content from the BBC archive as it is a matter of historical record we do consider the continued use and re-use of material on a case-by-case basis." He continued to grace our screens until July 2023, leading the corporation's coverage of the late Queen's platinum jubilee, her passing and her funeral, as well as the coronation of King Charles.
