[TheDevil]

A bit of a surprise but at the same time not! Lovely that he feels he can be his true self.

I was gobsmacked but, good for him and his supportive family. Very brave.

[Bobbisox1]

It must have been agonising have to tell all but good luck to him and his wife of 27 years

[barry1010]

Not so lovely for his wife

"A bit of a surprise but at the same time not!"
i think you hit the nail on the head there

[barry1010]

He either has a book coming out or he was about to be exposed by a third party.

[LadyCG]

Or he's trying to increase his shelf-life by ticking a few trend-boxes?

[-SharonA-]

Well I am shocked! His poor wife.

[maggiebee]

Not too great a surprise, but feel for his wife.

[barry1010]

He must have money troubles to be advertising WeBuyAnyCar.Com Maybe he was being blackmailed

[chrissa1]

Some of you are so cynical!!! :((

[Ryzen]

I recon his wife must be into the menopause around now.....an ideal time to turn gay...:-)

[TheDevil]

Barry maybe he just decided now was a better time than any, with his kids grown up and not depending on him and his wife anymore, finally able to be putting himself forward again.

10.42 not really cynical, just their opinion, me I think he's cheated is wife for all these years for his own career, she must feel very cheated.

[Mozz71]

Good luck to him. I hope some of the cynicism in a couple of posts here isn't reflected on other social media, but I know that's asking way too much from Twitter.

[barry1010]

He never needed to be in the closet, TheDevil.

[TheDevil]

There are opinions then pure speculation, teacake.

He had an amazing connection with his wife, somethign you'd have nothign about because it is part of his private life not what you see on the TV.

You may think he's cheated his wife I think he's more than provided for his family.

[TheDevil]

"He never needed to be in the closet, TheDevil."

Who said he was in the closet? Maybe he was bisexual and now is just totally gay. Sexuality is fluid.

[barry1010]

He's just come out of the closet, TheDevil, with his big announcement. You are speculating about the amazing connection with his wife, unless you know them personally.

[Mozz71]

//He never needed to be in the closet//

He probably thought he did to protect his wife and family. I get the idea that his wife and kids have known for quite some time, from his message.

[teacake44]

10.47 is that not what your doing speculating? Quote, he had an amazing connection with his wife. Are you sure, and how come you know that and no one else does on here.
