Huw Edwards, a longtime British TV presenter and host of the BBC‘s flagship News at Ten program until July 2023, has resigned.
On Monday, the U.K. pubcaster said Edwards took medical advice before deciding to officially resign from the BBC after stepping away nine months ago following a June 2023 report from The Sun that alleged Edwards had paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos.

Not sure what would be the best thing to do when your entire news broadcast falls apart, but it’ll probably be this. The start of the “BBC News at Ten” met with disaster Tuesday, as the show just couldn’t seem to start. The intro looped over and over again as breaking news graphics kept appearing. It also kept cutting to the anchor, who did nothing but sit in silence waiting for everything to go back to normal. Anchor Huw Edwards was a professional throughout the whole thing, sitting calmly and waiting for his cue. At one point he did doodle something.
