Disgraced former BBC news anchor Huw Edwards has condemned an upcoming dramatization of his downfall.

Edwards, who became the BBC’s best paid and best known news anchor over his 20 year career at the broadcaster, was convicted of three counts of making indecent images of children in 2024 after pleading guilty. He was given a suspended sentence, meaning he served no jail time. He was also ordered to complete a sex offender treatment program and has been added to the sex offender register for seven years.
