Strictly Come Dancing contestant John Whaite has said that he was advised not to “be too gay” by people close to him.
Former Bake Off winner Whaite became the first male Strictly contestant to perform with a same-sex dance partner earlier this year, during the popular reality show’s ongoing 19th series.
Stipulating that he didn’t want to name anyone, Whaite said there were “people in my life” who told him not to be “too gay”.
Strictly continues at 6.45pm on Saturday (6 November) on BBC One.
