Shayne Ward: ‘I get called gay all the time’
By Josh Haggis
Shayne Ward talks about how he feels about being branded gay by other men in the latest issue of Attitude.
The singer has revealed that even though he gets labelled gay “all of the time,” it doesn’t bother him because he’s “very thick skinned.”
“I get called gay all the time. Normally, from a jealous boyfriend of a girl who’s a fan or a group of guys in a pub shouting at me because I’m a popstar,” he explains.
He continues: “It doesn’t bother me. I am very thick skinned and can handle situations very well. Plus half of the idiots shouting abuse are probably hiding in the closet and fancy me as well.”
Shayne goes on to explain that his family wouldn’t have been bothered if he had been gay, saying: “I’ve always known I was straight thanks to my brother’s collection of magazines. I love boobs . If I were gay my family are amazing and wouldn’t shut out anyone. They’d never have a problem if any of my family said they were gay. Only welcoming arms full of love!”
Shayne releases new album Closer on April 13. You can check out his Pledgemusic page here.
