Huw Edwards would face ‘big obstacle’ in suing Sun, says Cliff Richard lawyer

BBC presenter would not have a strong claim around identification by tabloid, Godwin Busuttil believes

A lawyer who helped Cliff Richard recover damages from the BBC has cast doubt over whether Huw Edwards would be able to successfully sue the Sun, despite growing criticism of its reporting.

After days of speculation, Edwards was named on Wednesday by his wife, Vicky Flind, as the subject of Sun allegations that an unnamed BBC presenter had paid a 17-year-old for explicit photos.
