Retreat

The fake news seems to have started in The Sun.

"BBC newsreader Huw Edwards chased a burglar out of his home and into the street — in his pyjamas. Brave Huw, 58, was woken by the intruder at 5.30am and dashed downstairs to confront him."

This morning, Huw says it's tosh.

Just for the record — following some misleading (shock!) press reports. Yes we had a burglary. No, I didn’t chase the burglar. The police are dealing with it. It happened a month ago. We’re all fine. Now back to more important things. Like Wales winning the Rugby World Cup. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 pic.twitter.com/s3d7hgwjEh

So it looks like his car was stolen, and later recovered.  Many of the articles relating to this story are illustrated with shots of buff Huw on various holidays taken from his own Instagram account. Spookily, that account is unavailable this morning. Perhaps on police advice.
