Blackpool footballer Jake Daniels has come out as a gay in a historic TV interview.
The 17-year-old, who only signed a professional deal with the club earlier this year, made the announcement in an interview with Sky Sports earlier today.
He said: "Now is the right time to do it. I feel like I am ready to tell people my story. I want people to know the real me. I have been thinking for a long time about how I want to do it, when I want to do it. I know now is the time. I am ready to be myself, be free and be confident with it all.
