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.

Strictly stars announce they are engaged three years after meeting on show
TYLER West and Molly Rainsford have announced their engagement three years after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing. The celebrity pair first met when they competed on the BBC favourite back in 2022. 4 Now the pair have shared Tyler got down on one knee while on a romantic holiday in Mykonos, Greece last week – and Molly happily said yes. Sharing a video from the special moment on Instagram, the post read: "Found our forever 🤍 10.8.2025." In the clip, Molly was seen in a pink tube top and matching skirt, as Tyler walked her to a balcony that overlooked the sea to watch the sunset. Believing it to be a photoshoot, Molly was completely oblivious as she looked out at the view. But when she's told to turn around by the photographer, she is seen looking stunned when she sees Tyler one knee behind her. Looking stunned, Molly was seen clapping her hand over her mouth in shock. An emotional Tyler then tells her: "I don't know where to start." While some of his speech has been kept private, he added: "So I'm hoping you can continue making me the luckiest man on this Earth, like you do every single day. "So baby... will you marry me?" With both of them in tears, Molly happily accepts, and after hugging and kissing, Tyler can be seen punching the air, declaring: "Yes! Get in! That's what I'm talking about." Loved ones and fans were quick to share their congratulations, with Melvin Odoom saying: "Why am I smiling at my phone so hard! Congratulations guys ❤️🎉🙏🏾" This story is currently being updated. 4 4

Sally Rooney could be arrested under Terrorism Act after pledging royalties to Palestine Action
Irish novelist Sally Rooney could be arrested under the Terrorism Act after saying she intends to use proceeds from her work to support Palestine Action, which was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK last month, a legal expert has warned. Earlier, No 10 said that supporting the group was an offence under the act, after Rooney had made her pledge. Royalties from Rooney's books, including Normal People and Conversations with Friends, and BBC adaptations of them would be used to support Palestine Action, she wrote in the Irish Times over the weekend. The legal expert also said that the bestselling writer could face prosecution if she were to express her views at, for example, a UK book festival, underscoring the proscription's 'gross disproportionality'. While the prime minister's spokesperson would not respond to the author's comments specifically, they said that there was 'a difference between showing support for a proscribed organisation, which is an offence under the Terrorism Act, and legitimate protest in support of a cause', according to the Press Association. Asked what message No 10 would give to people considering donating money to Palestine Action, the spokesperson said: 'Support for a proscribed organisation is an offence under the Terrorism Act and obviously the police will, as they have set out, implement the law as you'd expect.' More than 700 people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act in relation to the group since it was proscribed in early July, many of whom were detained at a peaceful protest on 9 August in Parliament Square, London. 'My books, at least for now, are still published in Britain, and are widely available in bookshops and even supermarkets,' wrote Rooney on Saturday. 'In recent years the UK's state broadcaster has also televised two fine adaptations of my novels, and therefore regularly pays me residual fees. I want to be clear that I intend to use these proceeds of my work, as well as my public platform generally, to go on supporting Palestine Action and direct action against genocide in whatever way I can.' Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation after activists broke into an RAF base in Oxfordshire and spray painted two planes. They 'knew, of course, that their actions were illegal,' Rooney wrote in the Guardian in June. 'From the suffragettes to the gay rights movement to the anti-apartheid struggle, genuine political resistance has always involved intentional law-breaking.' In her Irish Times article last weekend, Rooney said that she 'would happily publish this statement in a UK newspaper – but that would now be illegal'. Rooney's books also include Beautiful World, Where Are You and, most recently, Intermezzo. Lawyer and writer Sadakat Kadri said: 'Receiving money with the intention of using it to support terrorism is an offence under section 15 of the 2000 act.. That means Rooney could be arrested without a warrant as a 'terrorist'.' He added that 'the absurdities don't end there', and said the decision of the home secretary, Yvette Cooper, to bracket Palestine Action with groups such as Islamic State meant the BBC would also be criminally liable if it continued to pay royalties to Rooney. in view of her stated intentions. 'Authoritarian governments routinely threaten writers and intimidate broadcasters, but I find it quite extraordinary that Labour under Keir Starmer has now chosen to go down the same path.' Asked whether Rooney could face legal repercussions if she, for example, spoke at a book festival in the UK, Kadri said that 'there's certainly a risk she'd fall foul' of the law. If Rooney expressed 'her views in terms of condemning the war crimes being committed in Gaza, an arguable case for prosecution could be made out'. 'Saying that isn't for one moment an attempt to justify the statute,' said Kadri, which he described as 'a shameful attack' on free speech. 'It's just a particularly stark illustration of the measure's gross disproportionality.' Mike Schwarz, head of the public inquiry team at the legal firm Hodge Jones & Allen, said that 'anyone providing money which might, in the state's eyes, fund 'terrorism' and, separately, anyone supporting an organisation proscribed under terrorism legislation runs a very real risk of serious police interest and prosecution for grave offences in the UK. This seems particularly the case in the current febrile political climate surrounding Palestine Action.'

Vicki hits 'tragic' pervert Joel with a very serious warning in EastEnders
Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) has issued her final warning to sick Joel Marshall (Max Murray) in EastEnders. It's about time that somebody shuts down his disgusting behaviour once and for all – but with Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) reluctant to turn his back on his son, he's pretty much been given free reign to do whatever he wants. In tonight's episode, however, Vicki swore to put a stop to that. She can see that her partner is effectively enabling Joel's vile ways, and won't stand for it any longer. Soon after his arrival, we discovered that Joel had upskirted a pupil in his class, and her family had ordered him to leave Australia in exchange for their silence. They'd also accepted a hefty $50,000 sum. The teen showed no signs of changing – recording himself sleeping with Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), and introducing Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) to pornography. He then showed his new mate videos from an influencer, who spoke about women in a derogatory manner. The lads skived off school to take a trip into The City. On their journey home, Joel demanded Tommy whip out his phone and record something shocking. He stumbled through the carriage, falling onto a girl and touching her inappropriately. Later, Vicki met up with the victim and handed her £2,000 in exchange for her silence. In the aftermath, despite promising to do better, Joel has tore strips off Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), before seemingly leaking the latter's SecretCam content online. This came just days after Ross snapped branded his son a 'disgusting little pervert.' With the police reluctant to investigate, this couldn't be proved – but Stace' is adamant that he's responsible. Joel spiralled further after learning that Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) had aborted their unborn child, and attempted to slap her. A furious Vicki charged in his way, and dragged him home. He reeled off a number of sick ideologies, including his belief that reproduction is the purpose of womanhood. She begged him to open his eyes and wondered if he looked at her any different having not had any children herself. In a truly horrifying move, he asserted that if she pushes him further, she'd find out that a 'proper slapping would do [her] the world of good.' In tonight's episode, Joel goaded Stacey, spelling it out to her that he was responsible for leaking her content and didn't care about the consequences for her. She asserted that he was nothing more than a 'dirty, disgusting little perv' and while he may have fooled the others, he hadn't fooled her. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
