Leo Varadkar has added his voice to those in support of teenage footballer Jake Daniels after he bravely came out as gay yesterday.
The Blackpool forward is the first active British male footballer to come out publicly since Justin Fashanu.
He spoke about how acknowledging his sexuality to those around him has been a massive weight off his shoulders which has led to him feeling comfortable enough to come out publicly in the hope that it will encourage others within football who are hesitant to do the same.
