SHAMED BBC anchorman Huw Edwards’ divorce has been delayed as the asking price for his family home was slashed by £750,000.
His TV producer wife Vicky Flind filed for divorce days after he admitted possessing indecent images of children.
Their six-bedroom detached mansion in Dulwich, south London was then put up for sale for £4.75 million last October following the couple’s split.

But no buyers have come forward to take on the plush property amid fears it has been blighted by its links to the telly paedo.
The property has attracted so little interest that online site Zoopla is still urging “be one of the first to view” – nine months after it went on sale.
Agents reduced its asking price by £250,000 in February – but a further £500,000 has now been hacked off as the couple attempt to accelerate their split.
The couple bought the six-bedroom home for £1.85 million in 2006 and it is mortgage-free – and 63-year-old Edwards expected to rake in more than £2 million from his share of the sale.
But the plummeting price means the presenter – who earned £475,000 at the peak of his career – has already lost more than £300,000 he hoped to rake in last year.
He did not pay back £200,000 in wages funded by licence payers which he earned between his arrest over child sex charges and his resignation.
Court records obtained by The Sun confirm that no decree absolute had been granted to end his 32-year marriage up to June 5.
It was unclear whether property sale problems were affecting the divorce – which had been expected to have been finalised by February this year
Edwards, 62, pleaded guilty in September to three charges of making indecent images of children and was given a six-month suspended jail term.
The material included abuse videos of children as young as seven, which he received via WhatsApp between December 2020 and August 2021.
Ms Flind initially stood by her husband but asked him to leave the family home after his arrest.
He has since been living between a flat in Wandsworth, south-west London, and a property in Carmarthen, Wales.
His Dulwich home is described by the estate agent as “a substantial detached mid-century family house” with “exceptionally spacious living accommodation”.
It features three bathrooms, three reception rooms, a library, an office, a double-length garage, and mature gardens with decking.
The agency said it sits “on one of Dulwich’s most desirable residential roads”.
The couple, who married in 1993, have three sons and two daughters.
Huw Edwards’ fall from grace
HUW Edwards was on £475,000 at the BBC when he was arrested in November 2023 over 41 images shared in a WhatsApp chat — seven of them of the worst Category A level.
He was not sacked, even though some senior BBC staff knew he had been nicked.
Instead he was allowed to step down on “medical grounds” in April 2024.
We then revealed last July he had been charged with making indecent images.
He admitted three counts at Westminster magistrates in September and was handed a suspended six-month jail sentence.
He was also ordered to undergo rehabilitation sessions and placed on the sex offender register.
