'This is me coming out'
“TalkRadio host Iain Lee has come out as bisexual live on air, revealing that he’d had relationships with men as a teenager and had been keeping his sexuality a secret for 30 years.
The 46-year-old broadcaster, who appeared on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2017, told listeners he had suffered from depression in his teens and that he is seeking professional help from a therapist following his divorce from BBC journalist Helena Wilkinson this year.
“I've been doing a lot of work with him trying to get through this sodding depression,” Lee said, noting that the sessions had brought up things that began when he was around 14 years old and “basically engaged in sexual acts with significantly older men”.
“And this kind of went on for quite a while,” he continued, adding that he’d always been confused about these relationships and how he now recognises certain behaviours as a form of abuse.
“I can see it for what it was,” he said, noting that his therapist help him come to an even more important conclusion.
“He’s helped me realise that I’m probably bisexual,” Lee revealed. “So I guess I’m coming out. This is me coming out, I suppose is how they would call it, at the age of 46, and I’m terrified by it.”
Later, the broadcaster expanded on what he’d said on Twitter, thanking listeners for the overwhelming support he’d received.
“I still feel embarrassed and ashamed and weird but I'm working on it,” he added, prompting thousands more supportive comments from fans.

Tonight was definitely my favourite episode of the season, although the celebrity cyclone episode usually is -ITS CYCLONE DAYY -I love this trial so so much -Woah look at Jennie go not moving at the massive wave -oh my gosh I'm crying this is so sweet -aw Iain hasn't seen his sister in 2.5 years. That's extra special and now I'm extra crying -So I had to explain to my parents what the aubergine emoji means. Goddamnit Ant and Dec -NO I WANTED JAMIE TO GO (I mean Jamie was better today without Dennis/Amir but I still don't like) Let me know your thoughts!
