Will Young was "terrified" of being gay. The 32-year-old singer – who revealed he is gay soon after winning UK TV talent show 'Pop Idol' in 2002 – admits he wasn't a very "sexual" person until he reached his late 20s, but is now much more comfortable with his sexuality.

He said: "I was terrified of being gay so I didn't really feel sexual until I was about 26...I was quite inhibited. I feel like I've reached a place that I'm happy with, worked out things I will never do. It's taken me years to work that out."
