For years, Duncan James was so scared of coming out he pretended to date celeb pals Geri Halliwell and Martine McCutcheon.
But this year, the Blue singer will be performing in Pride events across the country in make-up, lingerie and suspenders.
Duncan admits he finally feels comfortable in his own skin, thanks to the love of boyfriend Rodrigo Reis… and his showbiz bestie Denise van Outen.
