He Said : " I knew that I was different and I wasn't quite sure what way exactly, But I knew that I was different. And obviously, by The Time I became a teenager, I had a much stronger sense that I was gay, But you didn't see that anywhere, it wasn't talked about in school at all.
" My Family , absolutely did not talk about it. And when I came out to them very much later, that was incredibly painful. "
He added: " There was a long time when I would have given anything not to feel like that. I used to go to bed praying that I would wake up not being gay.
" That has changed now, obviously, thankfully. But that kind of stuff, it leaves its mark. And I do think if I was to look back at my younger life, I think it probably affected my confidence, my sense of what I could achieve, what I should set my mind doing. "
