Huw Edwards’ publicist grilled over support of disgraced BBC presenter

Huw Edwards’ publicist was grilled by Susanna Reid over his support of the disgraced BBC presenter. Edwards, who at the height of his fame was Britain's highest-paid news anchor, pleaded guilty in 2024 to receiving and making indecent images of children in 2024. He was given a suspended sentence. On Good Morning Britain on Wednesday (25 March), Ms Reid asked Edwards’ publicist, Barry Tomes, why he is supporting Edwards and if he sees himself as his “self-appointed investigator”. After agreeing with the assessment, Mr Tomes said that he wants to “figure out” why Edwards decided to do what he did. “He’s not the first famous man to have these issues,” he said.
