The young man, who requested anonymity, shared with Y Byd ar Bedwar – S4C’s current affairs programme – a series of messages where Edwards referred to him as “babe” and “big boy” and signed off with kisses.
He also says he was invited to the BBC’s London offices by the former News at Ten presenter.
Shortly after he visited the premises he said Edwards cut all contact with him.
“I think it’s obvious he was grooming me, trying to pull me in,” he said.
“I remember him asking me to meet him, then telling me not to worry if I couldn’t, which he followed with a few kisses.
“I look at this now and think, ‘He’s just playing with me’.
