Former Rugby league star Ian Roberts has revealed he didn't speak to his parents for over a year after telling them he was gay.
Roberts, 57, was born in London but spent most of his playing career in Australia after his family moved to Sydney when he was only two-years-old.
After an impressive start to his career, he became the highest-paid player in the sport in the 1990s and was best known for his tough-tackling, hardman approach.
