BBC News presenter Huw Edwards, who was named presenter at the center of a series of explicit photos, is one of the most prominent broadcasters from the United Kingdom.
He was the BBC's choice to cover major national events, reflecting how highly regarded he is by society.
Acknowledged by viewers, he has built a reputation over decades as a reliable and calming on-screen presence.
Last Wednesday, on what turned out to be his last day on the air for BBC News before the scandal broke, Edwards was broadcasting from Edinburgh as Scotland prepared to welcome King Charles.
Less than a week later, the 61-year-old's career is under severe pressure, after his wife released a statement naming him as BBC presenter facing a series of damaging allegations.
He joined BBC News as a trainee in 1984 and eventually got a job as a journalist politics for BBC Wales. Just two years later he became the BBC's parliamentary correspondent for Wales.
In the early 1990s he was the main political correspondent from the BBC in Westminster.
He became a regular face on the BBC News channel, then called BBC News 24, after its launch in 1997.
