Former BBC newsreader Huw Edwards resigned from the BBC last week on medical grounds after allegations were made nine months ago about inappropriate behaviour. The 62-year-old, who was reportedly warned about his online conduct two years prior to the allegations, allegedly paid a young person £35,000 for explicit images. The BBC received a complaint from a woman in her forties in 2021 after she exchanged messages with Huw on social media, asking the corporation to intervene to cease contact. An investigation into the matter was completed just days before Huw resigned, with the presenter being spoken to about his social media use. Despite allegations being retracted, further concerns led to a senior BBC manager advising that contact with Huw should cease. However, Huw and the woman continued to exchange emails. An internal review was launched into the handling of the complaint after allegations of inappropriate behavior emerged last July.
Huw Edwards was the highest paid newsreader at the BBC with a salary of over £435,000. The corporation stated that they have longstanding and robust processes in place to handle non-editorial complaints with care, fairness, and sensitivity to all parties involved, but there are limits to what can be shared about such processes. An internal investigation was carried out following the complaint from the woman who contacted the BBC for a third time after allegations of inappropriate behavior surfaced. The Mirror has reached out to the BBC for comments on the matter.
