RTÉ star comes out of the closet

RTÉ star Oliver Callan has come out as gay on tele-vision after being accused of being homophobic.

The 30-year-old impressionist, who has recently been embroiled in controversy over his bust-up with Kerry footballer Paul Galvin, announced in public for the first time on RTÉ’s Saturday Night Show that he was gay.

All Star footballer Galvin recently complained he was “excruciatingly embarrassed” when Callan did an impression of the fashionista footballer that insinuated he was in the closet. The comedian has also been hit by criticism for his camp send-ups of Senator David Norris.
