The BBC presenter facing allegations he paid a young person thousands of pounds for sexually explicit photos is Huw Edwards, the BBC has reported, citing a statement from his wife.

• Huw Edwards's wife's statement said the presenter is currently unwell
• The statement says Mr Edwards intends to respond to the allegations when well enough to do so
• London police found he has no criminal case to answer

Edwards is one of Britain's leading news anchors, who announced the death of Queen Elizabeth to the nation in September and has led the coverage of some the biggest events in Britain since the turn of the century.

The BBC said in its latest annual report that Edwards was the corporation's highest-paid journalist, earning more than 435,000 pounds ($831,870) in 2022.

"Huw is suffering from serious mental health issues. As is well documented, he has been treated for severe depression in recent years," his wife, Vicky Flind said in the statement. 

"The events of the last few days have greatly worsened matters, he has suffered another serious episode and is now receiving in-patient hospital care where he'll stay for the foreseeable future."
