Knew it!

Ostryga · 12/07/2023 18:01

She’s had enough clearly!

AutumnCrow · 12/07/2023 18:01

Just seen Sophie Raworth announce it on the BBC News at 6pm. Headline story.

bellac11 · 12/07/2023 18:01

Its on the news now, yes.

PiggyPlumPie · 12/07/2023 18:01

Kudos to his wife!

CoachBeardsJane · 12/07/2023 18:01

I'm really shocked

JenniferBooth · 12/07/2023 18:02

Yep His wife has named him.

TheSeaDoesntKnowMyName · 12/07/2023 18:02

Christ!

Ididntknowuntiliknew · 12/07/2023 18:02

I feel for his wife. What a mess.

bellac11 · 12/07/2023 18:02

Ive turned it over to Wimbledon so I wont get to hear what they say though

gogomoto · 12/07/2023 18:03

He always seemed nice. Oh well. At least someone else will get a go at presenting big events

Jennalong · 12/07/2023 18:03

And there we go ! The big reveal .

AlrightJulia · 12/07/2023 18:03

He's in hospital care apparently. What a mess.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 12/07/2023 18:03

He's not resigned. In-patient hospital care, apparently, for serious mental health problems. Nobody's a winner in this. Grim all round.

Tetchypants · 12/07/2023 18:03

Did I just hear he’s in “in patient hospital care for the foreseeable future”?

LMNT · 12/07/2023 18:04

Anyone got a link?

gogomoto · 12/07/2023 18:04

Based on this last week I'm not surprised

Simonjt · 12/07/2023 18:04

BBC presenters having to act surprised!

AutumnCrow · 12/07/2023 18:04

I think MNHQ can rest easier now, but posters will still have to be careful what they say so they don't cross the line.

He's NOT resigned, the BBC has just corrected themselves live on air! He's in the Priory or somewhere similar, having a mental health crisis, but hasn't resigned.

Yes. Clearly something major has happened to him. Awful for his family. I hope he gets the help he needs too.

ThreeRingCircus · 12/07/2023 18:04

It wasn't exactly a secret that it was Huw but I'm glad his wife has spoken out and named him to stop suspicion hanging over other male presenters.

What a mess, I feel so sorry for his poor wife and children.

ShakeYourFeathers · 12/07/2023 18:04

Watching bbc news now. His poor wife and having to release that statement must have been so hard

pyjamalife · 12/07/2023 18:05

Can't blame her for announcing it.

Perhaps it's time to let them deal with this as a family, the witch-hunt has ended. Wouldn't wish this on anyone.

They said they knew obviously but couldn't say.
