Her husband suffers from “severe mental health issues” and is now “being treated as an inpatient in hospital, where he will remain for the foreseeable future”.
Police opened investigations
For its part, the London police announced that there was no evidence that a crime had been committed in the case. Therefore, the police do not go further in the case. Flind announced that as soon as her husband was able to do so, he would comment on the reports.
The Sun newspaper quoted a woman on Friday as saying an unnamed BBC presenter had paid her, then 17-year-old daughter, tens of thousands of pounds over a three-year period for pornographic photos. On Sunday, the BBC said it had released the official. In recent days, new accusations of misconduct have been made.
Edwards hosts the 10 pm news in the UK – he was the one who broke the news of Queen Elizabeth II’s death to the world last October.
