The 62-year-old pleaded guilty in July to three counts of making indecent images of children.
The BBC's boss has said there has been 'no wholesale banning' of footage from the corporation's archive after the scandal surrounding former newsreader Huw Edwards. Edwards was named among the BBC's highest-paid stars in the year 2023-24, despite being off-air since July 2023. The 62-year-old is due to be sentenced next week after pleading guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children at a court hearing earlier this year.
Following a separate police investigation, Edwards was arrested and later charged with three counts of making indecent images of children. Dr Shah said Edwards had 'damaged the reputation' of the BBC. 'I should say, it was a shock to discover, when it was announced, when he was charged, that he had led this double life,' he added. Mr Davie told the committee he did not think it 'appropriate' to make public the BBC's investigation into the initial allegations.
