The estranged wife of paedophile Huw Edwards has today been pictured in Wimbledon’s royal box – the first time she has been seen in public since the disgraced former BBC newsreader’s fall from grace.
Vicky Flind wore an abstract printed green dress and carried a raffia bag with contrast black straps as she sat beside Robert Peston on centre court at SW19.
The producer, who is the creator and executive producer of Preston on Sunday, looked calm as she chatted with the journalist.
Mr Peston, whose wife Siân Busby died of lung cancer in 2012, is in a long-term relationship with journalist Charlotte Edwardes.
He hailed Ms Flind’s ‘immense strength’ in 2023 when she named Edwards as the star facing allegations of paying a teenager for explicit photographs.
Ms Flind, who is the mother of Edwards’ five children, split from the twisted newsreader after he pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children last July.
Sienna Miller, Katherine Jenkins and Sir Mark Rylance were among the other famous faces in the royal box on the ninth day of Wimbledon.
Layer Cake actor Miller attended the championships on Tuesday with her partner Oli Green while wearing a floral minidress.

Welsh singer Jenkins arrived at the tournament wearing a pink summer dress while holding hands with her husband, the American filmmaker and artist Andrew Levitas.
Wolf Hall actor Sir Mark was wearing a tan suit and tie as he arrived at the tennis tournament on Tuesday.
The English celebrity chef Marcus Wareing was also pictured with his wife Jane at the championships.
Ms Flind filed for divorce from Edwards in October 2024, but it was reported last month it had been delayed after struggling to find a buyer for their mansion home.
The six-bedroom detached property in Dulwich, south London, was put on the market last October for £4.75 million.
It is understood the mortgage on the property has been fully paid off, meaning a sale will give him a bumper pay-day of around £2million now he is without his £475,000 salary.
However, the sale appears to proving more difficult than first expected due to fears the home has been blighted by Edwards’ reputation, according to The Sun.
There is such little interest in the house that prospective buyers are being told by property website Zoopla that they would be ‘one of the first’ to view the ‘hidden gem’, nine months after it was first listed for sale.
And they have even slashed the asking price by a whopping £750,000.
Estate agents in February were willing to accept £4.5million for the property, but dwindling interest has seen this cut to £4million.

In an attempt to drum up interest, they described it as being situated ‘on one of Dulwich’s most desirable residential roads’.
They say the house, which is kitted out with three bathrooms and three reception rooms across its 4200 sq ft, is ‘a substantial detached mid-century family house’ with ‘exceptionally spacious living accommodation’.
The Sun also reported that no decree absolute had been provided to end Edwards’ 32-year marriage to Ms Find as of June 5.
They say it is unclear whether problems with the sale were a factor in the divorce, which was expected to have been finalised earlier this year.
