Thursday’s front pages are dominated by the news that Huw Edwards, once the BBC’s most senior news presenter, has pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children. The Mirror leads with the headline “Huw’s child ****** pics shame”.

The Sun has the word “guilty” alongside a photo of Edwards outside court on Wednesday. He has not been on air since last July after reports in the Sun claimed that he paid a young person for ********* explicit images. The Metropolitan Police said it found no evidence of ********* behaviour in relation to those allegations, and that the current case was separate.

The Telegraph says the BBC is “facing questions” after it emerged that the corporation paid Edwards more than £200,000 following his arrest. The BBC has said the news presenter, who resigned from his job in April, would have been dismissed had he been charged while still employed by the BBC.
