Huw Edwards, the disgraced former BBC presenter, has today been spared jail after he admitted downloading indecent images of children.

Last year, it was reported that an unnamed BBC personality had paid a teenager for images. The presenter's identity was not disclosed but Edwards' wife later confirmed that her husband was the person involved in the initial media reports.

Vicky Flind, who met Edwards during his tenure as a BBC correspondent in Westminster, said her decision to go public was "primarily out of concern for his mental well-being and to protect our children." The couple, who became engaged in 1993 and have reportedly separated since the revelations, were thrust into the public eye when the story emerged, Wales Online reports.
