He was the lead presenter of BBC News at Ten, the late evening news programme of BBC Television, from 2003 to 2023.

Edwards was hospitalised with depression shortly afterwards, and resigned in April 2024. In July, he pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children by receiving them during online chats. On 16 September, he was given a six-month suspended jail sentence and was added to the sex offenders' register.
