A leading actress and child abuse survivor is furious that disgraced newsreader Huw Edwards entered the National Eisteddfod poetry competition, calling it “catastrophic” given his recent conviction for accessing 41 child abuse images. Edwards, who received a suspended sentence, claims his poem was a tribute to his father and not meant for “sickeningly self-righteous Welsh speakers.” Though entered under the pseudonym “Y Gelyn,” his work didn’t win and ranked third. The actress warns his actions are deeply hurtful to survivors and argues he’s not ready for public redemption, demanding the Eisteddfod review its rules. Edwards insists he feels “abhorrence” for his actions, framing his crime as clicking on files—not committing abuse.
