Stars including Dan Walker and Alastair Campbell have reacted to the news Huw Edwards has been named as BBC presenter in light of recent allegations.
It comes after the BBC presenter was suspended by the broadcaster following allegations made against him.
His wife Vicky Flind has since confirmed Huw is facing allegations over payments for sexually explicit images.
Taking to Twitter today, Dan tweeted: “This is an awful situation & will come as a big shock to many.
“Huw Edwards is clearly not in a good place at the moment and this must be terrible for his family.
“I just hope that whoever needs help – on all sides of this – gets the time, space & support they need to heal.”
Alastair Campbell also reacted to the news as he wrote: “Like virtually everyone else, I know absolutely nothing about the events that have led to the statement by Huw Edwards’ wife. But I do know that he is a superb broadcaster.
“I know too that he has a long history of depression. He and I have spoken about it often, including in an interview for @MensHealthUK shortly before the Queen’s death which he covered so brilliantly.
“I hope he is getting good care and wish it was available to all who struggle with their mental health.”
He added: “The police having said no action to be taken, whatever he did or did not do is a matter for him and his family, and for the BBC.”
The Metropolitan Police said no criminal offence had been committed by the presenter.
