THE BBC yesterday branded Huw Edwards a villain who continued to take a publicly funded wage despite his sick fondness for viewing sexual images of children.
Bosses have demanded the disgraced veteran newsreader hand back the £200,000 he received between his arrest on November 8 and eventual resignation on April 22.
Edwards, 62, was one of the highest-paid stars at the BBC, on a salary of up to £439,999.
