Union J singer and ‘I’m a Celebrity…’ star, George Shelley revealed that he is attracted to men and women in candid coming out video

 
 
In the video, which he uploaded to YouTube and shared through his Twitter account, he revealed a personal revelation which he experience while competing in I’m a Celebrity…

“I’ve been on a personal journey and I want you to be part of that journey from now on. I want to start 2016 with a clean slate. I don’t feel that I should hide anything.”

The 22 year-old continued, “I went into the jungle and it gave me a lot of time to reflect on what is important to me. And what is important to me is that I should be myself. I’ve been reading a lot of speculation online as to whether i’m straight or gay or bi. Its all these labels and it’s a little bit old fashioned and this is why I’m not going to label it myself.

“I’ve had girlfriends that I’ve loved. But I’ve also had boyfriends. I want you to know that whether I decide to be with a girl next or be with a guy next it’s because I love them.”

Twitter has been flooded with messages for the singer, supporting his decision to come out.
