Details over the six-figure salary for Huw Edwards will be revealed in this summer's annual report, despite his suspension over the £35,000 sex pic scandal.
The high-profile newsreader earned up to £439,000 last year, even though he was suspended in July over claims he paid thousands of pounds to a teenager for sexually explicit photos — and also gave them money.
The Times reports that Edwards, who suffered a 'serious episode' following the fallout, remains too unwell to take part in a BBC investigation into his behaviour.
While details between Edwards' lawyers and the BBC remain a secret, but staff at the Corporation have shared their frustration and skepticism over an outcome being reached anytime soon.
