Huw Edwards' wife of 30 years files for divorce weeks after child abuse conviction

The former BBC News presenter pleaded guilty to making indecent photographs

Huw Edwards' wife has filed for divorce from the former BBC News presenter after he plead guilty to child abuse charges. The 63-year-old admitted to three charges of making indecent photographs after he received 41 illegal images from convicted paedophile Alex Williams on WhatsApp.

Edwards walked free from court last month and instead was sentenced to six months imprisonment suspended for two years. He was told to attend 25 rehabilitation sessions and enrolled into the sex offender treatment scheme for 40 days.

The court also hit him with a £3,000 bill for prosecution costs. And now his wife, Vicky Flind, has filed for divorce and has reportedly "had enough" of him following the scandal.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "Vicky had enough of Edwards a long time ago but this is the final nail in the coffin of their relationship. He's put her and their family through hell, so this was inevitable.

"Unsurprisingly, they separated a long time ago and Edwards has been living elsewhere, but it is now official. Vicky is not talking to him and they now only communicate via lawyers."

The news comes after it was reported that the former couple's £4 million home was up for sale. The pair married in 1993 and have five children together.
