The 62-year-old has left his family home in south London

Former BBC presenter Huw Edwards has reportedly "split" from his wife of 30 years, Vicky Flind.

The 62-year-old is understood to have moved out of his family home in Dulwich, south London.


It's believed Edwards has moved to another part of the capital, The Sun reports.

The publication added the former BBC News broadcaster has been splitting his time between a home in Wandsworth, south London, and his native Wales.

The veteran BBC newsreader had been with the BBC for four decades before quitting in April.

The father-of-five has been married to Flind for three decades but it would appear the two have separated.

His home in the capital was revealed on Tuesday afternoon as the new address appeared in court documents.

It comes a day after Edwards was charged with making indecent images of children.

These are thought to be linked to images shared on WhatsApp, police said.

Edwards is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday morning.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “Huw Edwards, 62 (18.08.1961) of Southwark, London has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children following a Met Police investigation.

“The offences, which are alleged to have taken place between December 2020 and April 2022, relate to images shared on a WhatsApp chat.

“Edwards was arrested on 8 November 2023. He was charged on Wednesday, 26 June following authorisation from the Crown Prosecution Service.

“He has been bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 31 July.

"Media and the public are strongly reminded that this is an active case. Nothing should be published, including on social media, which could prejudice future court proceedings."

Edwards resigned from the BBC three months ago after building a huge career with the corporation.

In April, a short statement from the BBC read: "Huw Edwards has resigned and left the BBC.

"After 40 years of service, Huw explained that his decision was made on the basis of advice. The BBC has accepted his resignation."
