'Fuelling the fire' | BBC warned staff 'not to gossip' over Huw Edwards allegations

BBC bosses warned employees against gossiping over the fallout from the Huw Edwards sexual photos allegations, an insider has claimed.

Edwards, one of the BBC’s most prominent news presenters, was named last week as the presenter accused of paying £35,000 to a teenager in exchange for explicit pictures. He is currently suspended while the national broadcaster conducts an internal investigation.
