Huw Edwards STILL wearing wedding ring after split from wife as he arrives at court for sentencing over child sex pics
HUW Edwards is still wearing his wedding ring following his split from wife Vicky Flind.
The presenter was seen with the band on as he arrived at court today for sentencing over receiving child sex images.
Edwards, 63, split from his TV producer wife earlier this year following his resignation from the BBC.
The couple, who got engaged in 1993, have three sons and two daughters together.
A source told The Sun they had separated a “long time ago” but had not publicly announced it.
Edwards has moved out of the family home in Dulwich, South London, he shared with Vicky.
The veteran newsreader is facing jail time today after he pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children.
Edwards was sent 41 images – including two videos of a boy as young as seven – by convicted paedo Alex Williams in a sick WhatsApp chat.
Seven of the images fall under Category A – the most serious classification.
This included two moving images of a young child, possibly aged between seven and nine years old.
He also had photos of other children aged between 13 and 15 stored on his phone.
A further 12 images were classed as Category B and 19 as Category C.
Edwards had engaged in an online chat with 25-year-old Williams between December 2020 and August 2021.
During this time, the paedo sent Edwards 377 sexual images, of which 41 were indecent images of children.
Williams pleaded guilty in March to seven offences relating to possessing and distributing indecent images.
He was handed a 12-month jail term suspended for two years.
Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard in July that Edwards did not created any of the images himself.

THE mum of a teen sent vile messages by Huw Edwards has hit out at the disgraced BBC host in an open letter.
She tells him he caused “immense pain and suffering” to her and her son in the pursuit of his “sick pleasure”.
Edwards, 62, is due to be sentenced today over indecent images of children as young as seven found on his mobile phone.
Seven of the 41 he admitted to receiving were in Category A — the most serious classification.
The mother of the young man who Edwards paid tens of thousands of pounds to in return for sexually explicit pictures says the former news anchor should be locked up.
She writes: “Edwards has exploited very young children for his own sick ends and in my mind should go to prison.
“It breaks my heart as a mother to know that the man who groomed and controlled my son also shared the worst kind of child abuse picture.
“No paedophile who enjoys pictures of young kids should be free on the street.”
Edwards is facing a possible jail sentence when he appears in court today and could spend the rest of his life on the sex offenders register.
The anguished mum of Huw Edwards’ young victim has told the shamed BBC star: “All we cared about was stopping you.”
She poured her heart out in an open letter after she exposed the shamed News at Ten presenter for sending her teenage son tens of thousands of pounds in return for sexually explicit pictures.
