BBC asks disgraced presenter Huw Edwards to return £200,000 of salary

Corporation says journalist brought BBC into disrepute' and requests return of money paid since his arrest

The BBC has asked Huw Edwards to return 200,000 that he was paid after his arrest in November last year, in the wake of the disgraced presenter admitting making indecent images of children.

The BBC chair, Samir Shah, said Edwards is a villain" who betrayed the trust of staff and our audiences in the most egregious possible way" while living a double life".
