Aaron Renfree speaks candidly about coming out in ‘Attitude’
By Nick Levine
Former S Club Juniors star Aaron Renfree speaks candidly about his experiences coming out in an exclusive interview in the latest issue of Attitude.
Renfree, 26, now a dancer and choreographer, was recently “outed” by a national newspaper after he tweeted his friend Tom Daley to congratulate him on sharing the news that he is in a relationship with a man.
“When I saw that front page – “says gay ex-popstar” – that was a bit of a wake-up call,” Renfree tells Attitude. “I’ve never really seen that sentence on something I’m reading that everyone else in the country is reading. Since being in the band, I went straight back to college: I could have gone on living as if I was Aaron from S Club Juniors but I literally stripped that off me and went back to college. I was 17. I had no confidence. I had to work back from scratch. So to then see that tabloid story – was hard.”
Renfree continues: “I don’t go home enough, so not everyone knows in my family. Obviously, everyone knows now. I’ve never really talked about it. It’s not that I’m ashamed. I just never had the opportunity.”
