Huw Edwards has laughed off reports that the BBC has sent redundancy letters to some of its most famous news presenters. He posted a picture of himself raising a glass of bubbly and dismissed the reports as a "standard HR exercise".
The BBC is looking for expressions of interest in redundancy and it is understood letters were sent to all senior TV and radio presenters including the likes of Huw, Reeta Chakrabarti, Clive Myrie and Sophie Raworth.
But sharing a picture of himself raising a glass of bubbles alongside his mum, Aerona Protheroe, the Llanelli-born presenter said it was time for a "reality check" and added that it was a "standard HR exercise" by BBC News, one of many over the years. He wrote: "A standard invitation to consider applying for voluntary redundancy. Nothing more. As my mam says, don't believe everything in the papers."
