The Sun told us on Thursday that it 'has no plans to publish further allegations' in the case of Huw Edwards. Meanwhile it's been reported that another wing of News UK has recorded interviews with the estranged parents of a man who's believed to have sold pictures to Mr Edwards.  A fee seems to be involved; presumably BBC News online will 'live page' the transmission, given their current form.

So far the reporter who started the story, Scarlet Howes, Senior Reporter with News UK, hasn't spoken in public on the matter, withdrawing from a promised interview with Times Radio.  Yesterday, she told her story of the interview with the parents. 

In 2015, she made a series of 'red carpet' interviews for YouTube and contributed a dozen film reviews to Upcoming. She left Lambeth College in 2016 with a 'gold' NCTJ qualification, acquired while working for the Hampstead and Highgate Express. 2017 was a freelance year, working for the Mirror, and reporting on hair salons ("I was left with the best blowdry I have ever had. But I was disappointed colour wise" and Cyprus Holidays ("I also had an amazing signature treatment by a therapist designed to de-stress me") for the London Economic.  The Mirror gave her harder fodder:"'Disturbed' teen carved his name on schoolgirl's arm before raping and stabbing her in horrifying graveyard sex attack". 

She was at the Mail on Sunday before joining News UK, and remains chums with their showbiz editor Katie Hind.

Despite her 'emo youth', she now favours Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones and The Smiths, prefers duck to turkey at Christmas, and occasionally uses Twitter to complain, in a clearly non-bullying sort of way.

@love_prezzo I’m absolutely disgusted at how bad your food is in Spalding. Microwaved slop. Reheated pasta that is inedible.
