Talking to Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden on This Morning, Charlie said he wanted to be a positive influence on young people who were struggling to come out themselves. He was supported on the sofa by showbiz reporter James Ingham, representing RUComingOut.com, an award-winning LGBT website that supports and inspires young people as they come out.
“Our stories will help people,” he said. “There is a way out. You are not alone. I want to be a positive person, telling people 'you can do this'.”
Charlie previously dated TOWIE co-stars Gemma Collins and Danni Park-Dempsey, with whom he struggled to be intimate with and that provided some arguments during the show. Charlie also revealed that he had a girlfriend at the beginning of this year, and she was one of the first people he told. “I had to tell her, we had to have that conversation,” he said. “When something doesn’t click, it doesn’t click. I can keep dating these girls, but it’s not fair to them.”
Messages of support started to flood in to This Morning for Charlie, who said that he felt a weight off his shoulders “I feel good actually,” he said. “Thank you so much.”
Charlie King's TOWIE BFF Bobby Cole-Norris has not showed any support or mentioned anything regarding the matter on Twitter yet, however Gemma Collins has posted this message on her Twitter account 'I always SEE what other people don't and speak the TRUTH x', which could show that she knew before Charlie did and is finally relieved he has admitted it to himself:
Watch this old TOWIE video where Gemma asks for more commitment from Charlie, who tries to find a way to keep things platonic:
While Charlie was in TOWIE he was still in denial about his sexuality, as you can see from this video where Charlie denies he is gay to the other cast members on the show:
We'd like to say a big well done to Charlie for coming out and being true to who he is, and we wish him all the best.
What do you think to Gemma's cryptic tweet after Charlie came out?
