Duncan James Is Proud To Be Gay

Duncan James has insisted he is proud to be gay, while posting a photo with his boyfriend Rodrigo Reis.

The former 'Blue' singer confessed he didn't always feel as confident in his sexuality and as a result didn't identify as a gay man for many years.

Posting the picture to Instagram recently, his love for Rodrigo was evident. The 41-year-old wrote: "Cute pic alert!! Such a beautiful person inside and out. Thankyou @rodrigolopesreis for making me smile."

He later posted on Twitter: "I posted this pic on my Insta yesterday & couldn't get over the amazing response, comments and love from people. I didn't identify as a gay man for many years because of my own issues with coming out, but finally im happy in my skin & this guy next 2 me makes me proud 2 be gay."

Duncan previously confessed that he hid his sexuality for years for the sake of his daughter.

He said: "To be honest it was something I didn't feel comfortable sharing with the world but I thought doing a story was the right thing to do. After years of hiding the secret inside me I wanted to be who I am and I wanted acceptance. I carried this burden on my shoulders for years, I was worried about what the fans would think, family and friends, and I was living a lie really. I thought people would shout at me in the streets but I just had positivity. We celebrated Pride this month - it's so important for people to feel comfortable with who they are. I had a wonderful response from everyone. We're living in 2017 it shouldn't be a problem ... You know what they say, there's always a gay one in a boyband! It's normal now. But sportsman still have trouble and there's still a stigma in certain countries around the world."
