Huw Edwards and Vicky Flind have been married for a remarkable 30 years, but their relationship has recently been under intense scrutiny due to Edwards' involvement in a controversial case. The former BBC presenter has been handed a suspended jail sentence of six months for admitting to making indecent images of children in July of this year. As part of his sentence, he will have to complete a sex offender programme and will be on the sex offenders register for seven years.
Before this scandal, Huw Edwards was primarily known for his successful career in TV broadcasting. However, his personal life was thrust into the spotlight when The Sun published claims that he had paid thousands of pounds for explicit images from a young person. In response, his wife Vicky Flind released a statement, revealing that Edwards was struggling with serious mental health issues and would be staying in the hospital for the foreseeable future.
Despite the public attention on their marriage, it is unclear if Huw Edwards and Vicky Flind are still together. It was reported that the couple had separated in April this year and that Edwards had moved out of their family home. According to a source, he has been living in a different property in London and splitting his time between there and their home in Wales. However, they have not officially announced their divorce.
So who is Vicky Flind? She is a TV editor who previously worked on the BBC One politics show This Week before moving to ITV. There, she currently works on another current affairs show called Peston. Flind has been a supportive wife throughout her husband's struggles, and it was she who revealed that he was the BBC presenter involved in the scandal. She stated that her decision to go public was primarily to protect their children and Edwards' mental well-being.
Flind's statement received an outpouring of support, with Labour MP Jess Phillips praising her as one of the nicest, kindest, and most decent women she has had the privilege to work with. Another colleague, Robert Peston, also spoke highly of Flind on his show, mentioning that she is the editor of the show and was instrumental in creating it. He also shared that Jess Phillips described her as the nicest and kindest woman, a sentiment that he and everyone who works with her agrees with.
In her statement, Flind shared that she and Edwards have been married for 30 years and have five children together. They have largely kept their private life out of the public eye, but in 2019, they made headlines when they were burgled. Edwards was forced to deny reports that he chased the burglars from their home. The couple's children are now all adults, and Edwards has been open about his struggles with depression since 2002. He has credited his family's support for helping him through these tough times.
In a previous interview, Edwards shared his advice on parenting, stating that the youngest child often receives better treatment due to the parents' experience and knowledge gained from raising their older children. He also spoke about his mental health, revealing that one of his daughters checks in on him regularly and asks how he is feeling. Despite the challenges they have faced, Huw Edwards and Vicky Flind have remained together for 30 years, and their strong bond has helped them weather through difficult times.
