Duncan James: Bisexual

Duncan James last night confessed his shocking gay secret and admitted: “I’m bisexual. I’ve been in loving relationships with men as well as women – and I’m not ashamed.”

“But even though I fancy men, I still fancy WOMEN too.” Phew!

But on the eve of the boyband’s reunion tour, the sexy singer says it is time for him to let his fans know the truth.

In an emotional interview with the News of the World he said: “I was living a secret life. I went through a process of asking what the f*** am I?

“Am I gay? Am I straight? Am I bi? That’s why I was so frightened about talking. Now, in my early 30s, I know who I am and I’m proud of who I am. I don’t want to hide anymore.

“I don’t feel I should launch a big comeback with Blue hiding this – I don’t want to go back to the time in the band when I felt I had to keep certain things quiet. I want to be OUT and say I’ve had relationships with men as well as women.

Strict Catholic Duncan, 31, first fell in love with a man EIGHT years ago – at the height of Blue’s fame. Since then he has been with men and women, and fathered a daughter with his ex-girlfriend Claire Granger. But it took him years to confess his sexuality to the most important people in his life – Claire, 32, the other Blue stars and his mum.
