Collabro star talks sexuality: ‘I never hid the fact that I’m gay’

Collabro’s Jamie Lambert has spoken out about his sexuality, saying that he has “nothing to hide from anybody”.

The singer – who won Britain’s Got Talent with his bandmates last month – said that no one asked if him he was gay, so he didn’t feel the need to speak about it.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: “No one asked — I have nothing to hide from anybody. I think it’s really important that all gay people in the public eye just talk about it. The more that happens, the more normal it becomes.

“I remember when Stephen Gately from Boyzone came out and it was a really massive deal. But I think nowadays it’s about being comfortable in your own skin and comfortable with who you fall in love with.

“It doesn’t make a difference whether it’s with a man or a woman,” he added.

The 24-year-old said that he doesn’t want to be known as ‘the gay one’ in the group as it is “only an aspect” of him.

Last month, Collabro’s Thomas Redgrave revealed that he has a penis piercing, and said that his bandmates are “weirdly” keen to see it.
