Following allegations of paying a young person for sexually explicit images, Huw Edwards has resigned as the BBC’s top anchor. Edwards had been off-air since last July due to medical reasons, and his wife publicly identified him as the unnamed presenter at the center of the allegations, stating that he had been admitted to the hospital for mental health issues. Despite being investigated by the Metropolitan Police, no charges were filed due to a lack of evidence of a criminal offense. Edwards has led BBC coverage of major events including the General Election and the Queen’s passing. Several candidates, including Clive Myrie and Kirsty Wark, are being considered as potential successors for Edwards’ role as News at Ten host.
