BBC newsreader Huw Edwards, 57, reveals how he shed 3 stone and maintains weight loss
Huw Edwards has revealed the secret to his dramatic weight loss, after shedding three stone due to a new diet and fitness routine. The BBC broadcaster has been keeping fans up to date with his progress on Instagram, showing his noticeably slimmer physique, and now he’s revealed that boxing is to thank for much of the progress.
Speaking to Daily Mirror he said: "The boxing training is going pretty well. I do my boxing two or three times a week. I do TRX too, but only once a week in the park otherwise people will think I am going completely mad."
