LONDON — The BBC's Huw Edwards has been named by his wife as the TV anchor accused of paying a teenager more than £35,000 (around $45,430) in exchange for sexually explicit photos. After five crisis-ridden days for the British broadcaster, the wife of the previously unnamed TV anchor released a statement to the PA news agency. "In light of the recent reporting regarding the 'BBC Presenter' I am making this statement on behalf of my husband Huw Edwards, after what have been five extremely difficult days for our family," Vicky Flind said. She added that her husband Edwards had "suffered another serious episode and is now receiving in-patient hospital care." Edwards was suspended and was taken off air after the news broke last week.
