The head of the BBC has branded the disgraced newsreader's crimes 'appalling' and said he wants to recover part of his salary.

Edwards received a six month suspended sentence on Monday after admitting to having images of child sex abuse on his phone, two of which showed a boy aged between seven and nine.

Edwards was arrested back in November. He was paid about £200,000 after that. And yesterday, director general Tim Davie said the BBC has asked Edwards to give that money back.

However, during a talk with BBC journalist Amol Rajan, he defended the decision to continue paying Edwards until he resigned in April,.

Jeremy Vine on 5 is on television every weekday at 9:15am until 1:30pm on Channel 5.

He should give it to a charity that supports vulnerable children (morally). Legally, I doubt that the BBC will get the money back.

Victims should have the money and charities who help children who have gone through abuse

He should be jailed the pervert. And answer to your question is Yes he should repay the salary he got while suspended. Or to save any problems later if he or others are found guilty from the day of suspension the company employers to hold payment until the verdict day after trial. If guilty the person loses that monies, if innocent the employer pays the person what he is entitled to.

Not sure how you can legally ask him or why he would, they paid him his contractually signed salary and at the time they didn't ask.

As for him he's already hated by everyone including family the only thing he has left is money, if I was him I'd go live on a remote island.

His pension at 200k a year for 26 years at lets say 6% return average (likely to much much higher) is a pension pot of around £12m. The average market rate of return is actually around 9% so his pension pot is likely to be worth around £19.8m which a hell of a lot of money.

He should never have been given salary in the first place once he’d been accused

A judge would make us pay our council tax or tv license in instalments. He would have the same. It’s not as if her needs it. He needs to be bought to his knees. He needs to be in prison and have his assets seized. The mental health stuff is rubbish. He has played on it. Two tier system in place here I am afraid

Let's take a back seat, it's the tax payer who is paying for the rest of his living life.... He's loaded, and he STILL gets his pension and he getting a free house card to live his life outside of prison, all paid for by The only punishment is on the actual victims.
