Journalists and high profile media figures are among those who have sent support to “superb broadcaster” Huw Edwards after he was named as the BBC presenter at the centre of the recent furore.

A statement from Edwards’ wife, Vicky Flind, said he is “suffering from serious mental health issues” and is receiving “in-patient hospital care” as he faces allegations over payments for sexually explicit images.
