But that just happened with Phillip Schofield, nothing illegal per se but distasteful. Obvs in his case there was stuff about perhaps helping the guy's career too and in this case there are the allegations of payments of money etc.

The whole potential grooming thing with Schofield went very quiet, very quickly without anyone seeming to look in to it.

It was quite obviously Huw. A pity as he seems like a nice guy, although I know very little about him...

Alice In Wonderland · 12 Jul 2023 at 18:04

I'm pretty gutted.

I really liked him but sounds like he is in a really bad place if he is an inpatient at a hospital.

The internet was right as ever then. Hopefully we don’t still get a holiday

I’d the kid was 17 when it started then he deserves all he gets.

With the state the NHS is in these days, everyone in hospital is impatient.

It's not Bruv

Why has he resigned so suddenly if no criminal offence has been committed?

JamesH85 · 12 Jul 2023 at 18:06

Dear me, wonder if there was a suicide attempt.

Could be fun times for the Sun's lawyers if it's true they were told by the alleged victim that the story was junk.

So the pictures/videos weren’t of a 17 year old?

So it IS Huw Edwards according to the BBC news

@Hotwired

61-year-old man, married, kids, regular church goer... you sure you want to downplay/dismiss him allegedly sending hearts and kisses to a 17-year-old school boy on Instagram?

Oh, some of the people he contacted may have been 17 at the time but he didn't know... just leave him alone, this serious, married, BBC news presenter just likes young men and (legal) teens and was allegedly happy to break covid rules when lecturing the rest of the country on them?

Robbo · 12 Jul 2023 at 18:07

BBC are now saying he hasn't resigned.

I don't really care but if the police say no offence then why do we think we know otherwise?

Think his mental health / depression issues have been going on for quite a long time.
