In a shocking twist that’s tearing through the headlines, disgraced former BBC star Huw Edwards is drowning in scandal as his once-glittering life crumbles! The ex-News at Ten anchor, whose reputation lies in tatters after pleading guilty to horrific child abuse image charges, is now facing a new blow: his £4.75 million Dulwich mansion—a sprawling symbol of his former glory—remains unsold, slashing its price by a staggering £750,000! As his divorce from wife Vicky Flind stalls in a cloud of chaos, whispers of a cursed property and a fractured family are fueling a tabloid firestorm. Is this Edwards’ final humiliation, or just the beginning of his downfall?

Disgraced ex-BBC presenter Huw Edwards (above) has reportedly been forced to delay his divorce because he cannot find a buyer for his £4.75million mansion

The six-bedroom Dulwich estate, purchased for £1.85 million in 2006, was meant to be the crown jewel of Edwards’ empire, shared with Vicky and their five children. But after his guilty plea in July 2024, the dream home turned into a nightmare. Vicky, a TV producer who once stood by her husband, reportedly kicked him out and filed for divorce, leaving Edwards to drift between a Wandsworth flat and a Welsh retreat. The mortgage-free mansion, now a hollow shell of their 32-year marriage, was listed for £4.75 million last October, promising a £2 million payday for the fallen presenter, whose £475,000 BBC salary vanished with his career. Yet, months later, it sits untouched, a “hidden gem” shunned by buyers wary of its tainted legacy.

“It’s like the house is cursed by his crimes,” a source hisses, pointing to Edwards’ tarnished reputation as the poison pill scaring off even the most curious house-hunters. Zoopla’s desperate pitch—“be one of the first to view!”—rings hollow nine months after the listing, with estate agents slashing the price to £4 million in a frantic bid to offload the property. Described as a “substantial mid-century family house” with three bathrooms, three reception rooms, and a “delightful, mature garden” across 4,200 square feet, the home’s grandeur can’t mask its dark shadow. “No one wants to live in a house tied to such a scandal,” whispers an insider, as the property’s value plummets alongside Edwards’ once-sterling name.

The divorce delay adds fuel to the drama, with no decree absolute issued as of June 5, 2025, despite expectations of a finalized split earlier this year. “Is the unsold mansion holding up Vicky’s escape from this nightmare?” speculates a close source, hinting that financial entanglements may be chaining the couple together longer than planned. Vicky, who stood by Edwards until his arrest laid bare his crimes, now communicates only through lawyers, her silence speaking volumes about the betrayal that shattered their family. The five children, once the heart of the Dulwich home, are caught in the crossfire of a saga that’s as personal as it is public.

Edwards’ fall from grace is a tale of hubris and horror. Once the trusted face of BBC News, he covered royal events like Queen Elizabeth’s funeral with gravitas, only to be exposed as a man harboring dark secrets. His guilty plea to three counts of making indecent images of children, sent via WhatsApp from 2020 to 2021, led to a six-month suspended sentence and a spot on the sex offenders’ register. Now, as he languishes outside the spotlight, the unsold mansion stands as a grim monument to his disgrace, its empty halls echoing with the weight of his actions.

Social media is ablaze with reactions, from shock at the price cut to speculation about Vicky’s next move. “He’s lost everything—his career, his family, his home,” one user fumes, while others wonder if the property’s stigma will ever fade. With the divorce in limbo and the mansion a pariah on the market, Edwards’ story is a tabloid tragedy unfolding in real time. Will Vicky break free, or will the ghost of Edwards’ crimes haunt her forever? As the Dulwich debacle drags on, one thing’s clear: this is a scandal that won’t be sold anytime soon.
