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.

Scottish ostrich egg used to crack world record for biggest Scotch egg
An ostrich egg from a Scottish farm has been used to break the record for the biggest Scotch egg ever made. Social media chefs Phoenix Ross and Oli Paterson have been recognised for smashing the 20-year-old Guinness World Record. Isla French, co-owner of Little Rowater Farm in Banff in Aberdeenshire, said she was 'amazed' to discover one of her ostrich eggs was used. 'I appreciate good food and just love to see something from my farm be used for a Guinness World Record,' she told STV News. The chefs, from Enfield in England, bought five eggs from the farm – three of which were used in their attempt to break the record on June 17. Phoenix said he has 'wanted to break a world record since he was a kid.' Oliver told STV News: 'We looked at a few world records, and burrito was unbeatable at 2.4km long, and sausage roll was 111m. 'When we found 6.2kg scotch egg, we knew it was the one.' After one failed attempt, the duo succeeded in breaking the record with a fully intact scotch egg weighing almost 8kg – more than a bowling ball. The previous record was 6kg and stood for almost 20 years. The Scotch egg was made by being wrapped in sausage meat then covered in bread crumbs and deep fried before being put in an oven. The whole process took over 24 hours. Oliver said: 'It feels great to break the record, now 'were fingers crossed for getting in the book and setting our sights on new records.' Guinness World Record Isla French, 37, said she was stunned to learn her farm produce had played a part. 'When I sell these eggs, I never have an idea of where they go or what people do with them – this is a nice surprise,' Isla said. 'Someone's taken something from my little and got a Guinness World Record, it's just wow.' Isla French and her husband George, 42, started their family farm over ten years ago and have had an enclosure for ostriches from almost the start. They sells each egg, which weighs up to 1.8kg and contains 1.2 litres of contents, for £25. Each egg is the equivalent of 24 hen eggs. Isla French Isla said she and her family use eggs for omelettes, pancakes and baking as well as make huge fried eggs. 'We're a family farm and when our children are asked where eggs come from, they say ostriches. 'To them, that's normal.' However, she has never seen anything as 'inspiring' or as 'clever' as the ambition to make a Scotch egg with it. The French family had previously appeared on the BBC series This Farming Life. Isla French The ostrich egg holds the record for the largest egg produced by any living bird. The average example measures 6–8 in (15–20 cm) in length, 4–6 in (10–15 cm) in diameter and weighs 3 lb 10 oz–3 lb 14 oz (1.65–1.78 kg) – equal to the volume of 24 hen's eggs. It also holds the record for toughest egg produced by a bird – it can withstand the weight of a 115-kg (253-lb 8-oz) person and often having to be cracked open with a hammer. Ostrich themselves are the world's largest bird and can reach speed of up to 70km an hour. They can also live up to 75 years in captivity.

Hollywood icon brands Scots city ‘a f*****g disgrace' in scathing blast
He revealed what 'severed' his connection to the city FALLEN BY THE TAYSIDE Hollywood icon brands Scots city 'a f*****g disgrace' in scathing blast Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Brian Cox said the Scottish city he grew up in has turned from a lively place to an "absolute f*****g disgrace". The Succession star said Dundee was poor when growing up, but still had "character". Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Brian Cox slammed his hometown Credit: Alamy 4 He said his connection to the city had been "severed" Credit: Alamy 4 Cox said he was "bereft" when Dundee citizens were moved out of the city centre Credit: PA The 79 year old said that housing schemes which were introduced into the city in the 1950s is the root of the problem which exists today. Cox also admitted his connection to the city has been "severed" following the loss of his older sister Betty, who died at the age of 92 in 2023. The actor told the Big Issue magazine: "I'm 79 and I'm old enough to remember walking down the high street when [lightweight boxer] Dick McTaggart won gold at the 1956 Olympics in Australia. "I have this memory of him riding through the streets on top of the tram with his cup. "The town was lively then. "It was poor, but it had character. "Now the high street of Dundee is an absolute f*****g disgrace, just as it was in the '50s when they started sending people out into the schemes, which had no amenities and nothing to encourage community. "I lost half my class in 1956 when they all went off to the schemes." In the 1950s, Dundee built new council housing for working-class families, many of which were built on the outskirts of the city. Cox said he was "bereft" when Dundee citizens were moved out of the city centre, adding: "This lack of thinking still irritates me and it's constant. Scottish Premiership club enlist Hollywood superstar to sell their £95M new stadium and hotel plans "I met Dundee's Lord Provost recently and he told me he wanted to get people back into the city, I told him they should never have taken them out in the first place. "The damage that was done is the problem for all these new towns now. "You alienate people and effectively put them in open prisons." Cox added: "My connection to the place has been severed. "The reason I used to come back to Dundee was because of my oldest sister, Betty, and she passed away a few years ago. "So coming back has been sad, because now I want to see her and she's not here."

Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters: Meet Paralympian Ade Adepitan
ITV's newest entertainment format sees a group of celebrities submerged in shark infested waters. If you're wondering who would be crazy enough to sign up to a show like that, TV presenter and wheelchair basketball player, Ade Adepitan, is one such person. As someone who has made their bravery and resilience clear throughout their career, perhaps it's not such a surprise to see Paralympian Ade plunged into a shark cage on the show after all. And if it's made you question where you've seen him before then you've come to the right place. Here's everything you need to know about the presenter. Ade, whose full name is Adedoyin Olayiwola, is a TV presenter and wheelchair basketball player who has hosted travel documentaries and sports programmes for BBC and Channel 4 for more than 20 years. In 2004, Ade won a bronze medal at the Summer Paralympics playing wheelchair basketball. He is an advocate for promoting access to sport for disabled people and received an MBE for his services to disability sport in 2005.

In the show's attempt to showcase sharks in a new light, Ade takes on the physical challenges with twice the difficulty and vigour because of his disability, making him twice as impressive. Ade was born in Lagos in Nigeria where he contracted polio as an infant. This caused damage to his legs which required him to use a wheelchair. Yes, Ade has been married to singer Linda Harrison, who performs as Elle Exxe, since 2018. They have a son who was born in 2021.
