Huw Edwards splits from his wife Vicky Flind and moves out of family home as he faces jail over ‘child sex pictures’
FORMER BBC presenter Huw Edwards has split from his TV producer wife, The Sun can reveal.
Edwards, 62, has moved out of the family home in Dulwich, south London, he shared with Vicky Flind to another part of the capital.
The ex-News at Ten anchor has been splitting his time between a home in Wandsworth, south-west London, and his native Wales.
His new London home was revealed on Tuesday afternoon when his new address appeared on court documents.
Edwards is due at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday on charges of possessing indecent images and was listed at the Wandsworth address on the official court documents.
The veteran TV host is not yet thought to have divorced from Ms Flind, a TV producer two years his junior who has worked on shows including ITV’s Peston and BBC One’s This Week.
The couple, who got engaged in 1993, have three sons and two daughters.
A source said: “They separated quite a long time ago but have not announced it publicly.
“Huw has been living elsewhere for a while.”
Edwards and Ms Flind are said to have met when he was 30 – and working as a BBC correspondent in Westminster – and she was 28.
But they started dating later, when Edwards invited Ms Flind on a skiing trip after a friend pulled out.
Edwards – who resigned from the BBC in April after a career spanning almost 40 years – is due to face charges he made 37 indecent images of children.
He has been hit with three charges, covering the period from December 2020 to April 2022, over images allegedly shared on WhatsApp.
Six of the indecent images Edwards is accused of making are Category A – the worst type – while 12 are Category B and 19 are allegedly Category C.
Edwards – who could face a jail term if convicted – was arrested by London’s Met Police last November.
He was charged on June 26, but neither the Met nor the Crown Prosecution publicised it.
The charges were only revealed after The Sun contacted the Met and CPS on Monday.
Meanwhile, it was claimed that BBC bosses were “blindsided” by news of the criminal charges.
Insiders said senior management were unaware of the charges – and members of staff were rocked by the revelations.
Edwards joined the BBC as a news trainee in 1984 before becoming a parliamentary correspondent two years later.
His big break came in 1994 when he became presenter of the BBC Six O’Clock News.
He moved to News at Ten in 2003 and later hosted elections and state occasions including the funerals of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip and the coronation of King Charles.
