In a statement, Ms. Flind expressed her husband’s struggle with severe mental health issues and his current admission to a hospital for in-patient care. She requested privacy for their family during this challenging time. Ms. Flind spoke on behalf of her husband, Huw Edwards, in response to recent media speculation about allegations made against him. She emphasized the importance of his mental well-being and the protection of their children.
Huw Edwards has been dealing with significant mental health issues, including severe depression, which has been well-documented. The recent events have exacerbated his condition, leading to another serious episode that necessitates his stay in the hospital for the foreseeable future. Once he recovers, he plans to address the stories that have been published.
Ms. Flind clarified that Huw was informed of the allegations against him last Thursday. Given the circumstances and Huw’s condition, she kindly asked for respect and privacy for their family and all those affected by these distressing events. Huw deeply regrets the impact this media speculation has had on his colleagues, and they hope that this statement will put an end to it.
The Metropolitan Police has confirmed that no criminal offense has been committed by Huw Edwards, the BBC presenter in question. In response, the BBC expressed gratitude to the police for their prompt assessment. The BBC will now resume its own fact-finding investigations while ensuring a thorough evaluation of the facts and taking care of everyone involved.
It is important to note that Huw Edwards has not resigned from the BBC, contrary to some sources. He has been a prominent figure in the BBC’s election and royal coverage, notably announcing the late Queen Elizabeth’s passing last year. Huw has openly discussed his mental health struggles in the past, revealing his battles with depression since 2002.
Huw Edwards is currently the highest-paid newsreader at the BBC, and his wife’s statement coincided with the Metropolitan Police’s announcement of no criminal offense. The police have stated that they have received no specific information about further allegations against Huw Edwards at this time.
The BBC appreciates the swift completion of the police investigation and will continue its internal inquiry with the help of the Corporate Investigations Team. The Sun newspaper, which initially reported the allegations, has expressed its intention to cooperate with the BBC’s investigation.
Former Sun editor David Yelland criticized the newspaper’s actions, stating that they have caused distress to Huw Edwards without any evidence of criminal activity. Yelland believes that this is now a crisis for The Sun and urges respect for Huw’s privacy.
The BBC’s director-general, Tim Davie, acknowledged the difficult nature of the situation and emphasized the BBC’s commitment to the welfare of all involved. He assured staff that the investigation would proceed with care and consideration, adhering to the BBC’s values and following due process.
