Duncan James: ‘Coming out felt like a weight had been lifted’
By Josh Haggis
Duncan James has stripped down for Attitude’s Naked Issue – and you can check out a cheeky sneak peek right now.
Accompanying the hot new shoot with the Blue singer is an interview where he tell us about everything from staying safe in the bedroom to which male celebrities he has a thing for right now.
Asked how he felt about the reaction he received for coming out, James says that it was a huge relief to finally get it off of his chest.
“It definitely felt like a weight had been lifted,” he tells Attitude. “It was such an important time in my life and I’m thankful to all my family, friends and fans for not batting an eyelid when I came out. Sexuality is irrelevant to them, they love me for being me.”
You can read the full interview with Duncan, and pore over his stunning new naked shoot, in the new issue of Attitude – the Naked Issue – which is available to download to your mobile, iPad or tablet device now, at Pocketmags.com/Attitude.
