BBC's News at Ten frontman Huw Edwards is said to be "very cross" about the way he has been treated and is thought to be set to leave the BBC after an internal inquiry has been carried out.
Huw was suspended from his work duties with the BBC in July after it was reported that he had paid a teenager £35,000 in exchange for sexually explicit images.
Huw wasn't named at first but, after almost a week of speculation and scrutinising of the BBC, Huw's wife Vicky Flind came forward and named him as the person at the centre of the scandal, issuing a statement on his behalf.
She made a statement after Huw was hospitalised to receive treatment for his mental health and said: "In the circumstances and given Huw's condition I would like to ask that the privacy of my family and everyone else caught up in these upsetting events is respected."
While Police investigations found no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing, the BBC launched an investigation to reveal if the presenter had behaved inappropriately.
GB News reported that the inquiry has now been concluded and Huw was given a copy of the findings, along with the opportunity to respond.
Journalist John Sergeant told the outlet that Huw is angry at the way he has been treated. He said: "I've heard from some people that he's just very cross. Very cross about the way he was treated, very cross about what's happened.
"But the overall result is, as I saw, one of personal sadness and regret because he was an extremely talented man and I knew him in all his different guises and this is devastating."
He also pointed out why the BBC executives are claimed to not want Huw back on the show, as he said: "When you've had this amount of publicity, bad publicity, every programme of any sort has got to ask 'well how will the public relate to this person? Will they relate to him in the same way as they used to.' And the answer is, they won't."
Huw has been one of the most recognisable faces in UK journalism for decades, with a prominent role presenting the BBC's 10 o'clock News as well as the Queen's funeral and the King Charles' Coronation.
