Huw: I get far less fan mail now I’m slim

YOU’D think the slimmer physique would win him fans – not put them off.

But Huw Edwards has revealed he’s receiving less fan mail now he’s joined a gym and lost three stone.

The BBC newsreader, 57, regularly shares photos of his strict training sessions – which include boxing and weight-lifting – on social media. But Edwards, pictured, who dropped from 16 to 13 stone, said: I don’t get fan mail any more … letters don’t come. I used to have a bundle of mail to open every week.’

The News At Ten host told The Mirror he now boxes three times a week and does ‘TRX’, a form of suspension training using ropes, once. Any more, he said, and ‘people will think I’m going completely mad’.

Viewers began to notice Edwards’ more youthful look during the Royal Wedding coverage in May. One called him a ‘stonecold fox’, while another said he had ‘definitely been gym-ing it for the big day’.
