BBC News Presenter Huw Edwards Is The Instagram Star We Didn’t Know We Needed In Our Lives

Huw knew?

They might be some of the most recognisable faces on our screens, but despite featuring in most of our lives on a daily basis, we still know very little about the presenters of BBC News.

Kate Silverton gave us an all-too brief glimpse of her off-duty personality when she appeared on the last series of Strictly, but the rest of them keep things on the DL.

Well, they did until Huw Edwards discovered Instagram.

Admittedly, Huw’s been sharing Insta snaps since 2017: Huw sat at his BBC News desk. Huw outside the Houses of Parliament. Huw hosting a panel.

So far, so snooze.

But fast forward to the middle of last year and things began to change - as did Huw.

The 57-year-old presenter reportedly lost three stone thanks to a healthier regime that included regular boxing sessions with former pro Clinton McKenzie, which correlates with when Huw started searching for things in the middle distance…

Oh hang on, it looks like he’s found what he was looking for...

In fact, he’s serving looks left, right and centre.

He’s got Pensive Huw down...

Flummoxed Huw could do with a bit of work...

Mean ‘n’ moody Huw? Tick.

Baywatch Huw (eat your heart out Hasselhoff)...

007 Huw

Surely a recreation of *that* Daniel Craig-emerging-from-the-waves scene can’t be far off?

Maybe not.

Actually, never mind Bond, we’re getting French Detective vibes...

Don’t do that Huw.

Go hard, or go home, right?

And we all know what the best way to show off your new guns is...

No prizes for guessing who taught him that trick...

Or you could just get ’em out (blimey)

He’s even got a cute dog

Who loves him as much as the rest of us...

This can all only lead to one thing in 2019, right? (and yes, he has been asked)...

The petition starts here.
