Rylan Clark-Neal has revealed that an episode of Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends played a part in helping him realise he was gay.The presenter spoke to Louis about discovering his sexuality as a young man, during an appearance on his Grounded podcast.When asked if he always knew he was gay, Rylan said: ‘Yeah, I think so and that’s quite difficult because I didn’t even know what gay was.‘I knew I was different, I didn’t know what.
I never thought about being with a boy, or I’m going to be with a man when I’m older, but I never really thought about having a wife.’Rylan went on to share a memory of seeing Louis’s documentary about gay porn in the late 90s, which he ‘remembers vividly’.‘I’ve seen a lot of your programmes,’ Rylan told Louis.
