Huw Edwards, the BBC's former top news presenter, pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of making indecent images of children.
The offences he pleaded guilty to at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in central London during a 26-minute hearing involved images shared on WhatsApp between December 2020 and August 2021.
Edwards has been remanded on bail until a sentencing hearing on Sept. 16. He could face up to 10 years in prison.
The court heard that Edwards, 62, was involved in an online chat with an adult man on the messaging service who sent him 377 sexual images, of which 41 were indecent images of children.

I'm curious exactly how many people have been on HIGNFY who have also been involved in some sort of sex scandal. Because more than in a lot of shows.

Not as good as it used to be, but I'll watch watch it for Paul Merton and Ian Hislop.
I brought it up because, along with a lot of later-disgraced politicians and celebrities on the show, the original host himself got fired after it turned out he was doing coke and having sex with prostitutes. (Most people didn't give a shit about that one to be fair.)

Probably so, but I'd still be curious how many have over the years.
Welsh ham? Now there's a search phrase for pornhub
