    The XFACTOR band formed of Bradley Hunt and Ottavio Columbro have rebranded ahead of the live shows next week. The flamboyant pair decided that “Bradley and Ottavio” was just too much of a mouthful so they ditched the brand altogether. Instead, they’ll be known as Bratavio

    The dynamic duo has caused a stir on Twitter with fans of the show hurling abuse at Louis Walsh for taking them through to the live shows. A number of angry viewers took to calling Louis and Bratavio homophobic slurs after Louis chose the boys over four other acts including boy band favourites Yes Lad.

    Louis Walsh was aided by last year’s runner-up Fleur East and Pride in London’s headliner Alesha Dixon who jointly decided to put in the controversial novelty act.

  • Is Greg Rutherford Gay?

    Is Greg Rutherford Gay?

    Greg Rutherford is a gem. We’ve literally fallen in love with him whilst he’s been on Strictly Come Dancing, but some people have been asking – is Greg Rutherford gay?

    is Greg Rutherford gay
    BBC

     

    With his appearance on Strictly Greg Rutherford has been getting people hot under the collars and some have taken to the Internet to find out if the sports star is actually gay.

    Well sorry to disappoint boys, but Greg is in a relationship with Susie Verrill and they have a son together who was born in 2014. They named their baby boy, Milo.

    In Episode 2, the judges went to town on the size of Greg’s butt… but to be honest, we’re not complaining.

    He proved himself to be a bit of a  gay ally though in 2015 when he had a Twitter spat with Tyson Fury after Fury’s controversial comments about gay people and the BBC made Fury a Sports Personality of the Year candidate.

    He stated,

    ‘I wanted to speak with the BBC about sharing a stage with somebody that had views that are so strongly against my own. After doing so, I can confirm that reports that I am withdrawing from the ceremony are not true.

    ‘The BBC have been hugely supportive in hearing my own views and I am hugely honoured and privileged to be included on the shortlist for such a prestigious event alongside so many remarkable sporting personalities, the majority of whom I will proudly say to my son I had the chance to meet.’

    The 29-year-old is most famous his long jump ability. He has represented the UK at Olympics, World and European Championships, and England at the Commonwealth Games.

    Speaking with Elle Justin, who is now married to Jennifer Aniston said,

    “It’s like having someone yank your shorts down in public,

    “It doesn’t feel great. Anyone who has an unflattering picture taken of them would probably say, ‘Join the club’.”

    He didn’t take the chatter about his jubblies as a compliment either adding,

    “It has the appearance of a compliment,but it’s more mortifying than anything else.”

  • X Factor’s Anton Stephans finds the joy of dick in new show

    You may remember Anton Stephans from last year’s X FACTOR, well he’s about to join the cast of Moby Dick – the musical, in London.

    Anton Stephans is about to return to the theatre after a life changing year after appearing on last year’s X Factor. The singing star, who came fifth in the 2015 series of ITV’s flagship show is “delighted” to be returning to his first love – musical theatre.

    Speaking with THEGAYUK he jokes, “there are loads of dick jokes. I love it… ‘3 years at sea and still no sign of dick…’.”

    The musical, which hasn’t played in the UK since 1992, will return to the London stage at the Union Theatre in Southwark – to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary.

    The show is about the anarchic and nubile girls of St. Godley’s Academy for Young Ladies. Money for the school has run out and it’s threatened with closure. Determined to save their school from bankruptcy, the resourceful girls, and their unflappable headmistress, played by Anton, come up with a plan to keep the school afloat.

    Using whatever they can find, the girls mount an original production as a fundraiser – a musical version of Herman Melville’s classic novel Moby Dick, featuring their own headmistress in the coveted role of Captain Ahab.

    Speaking about why now was the perfect time for the show to return, Anton said,

    We have something utterly hilarious. There are so many bad things going on in the world and it’s good to have a moment where you can laugh your arse off. It’s very sill and very traditionally British. I love all things British like that. That kind of humour, we do it best.

    It will be directed and choreographed by double Olivier Award nominee Andrew Wright, who said,

    “I am thrilled that Anton and Brenda will be leading our 10 strong company of Moby Dick. Each and every member of the cast is unique as well as supremely talented. I’m so excited to create the madcap world of Moby with them.”

    Tickets are available starting at £15 from the Union Theatre Box Office and www.uniontheatre.biz, 020 7261 9876

    Chris Mears and Jack Laugher are the cutest non gay couple ever

    Diving buds Chris Mears and Jack Laugher certainly make a beautiful couple – but in a platonic way.

    The Gold winning Olympic divers Chris Mears and Jack Laugher were reunited this week since their time in Rio and both divers uploaded the cutest pictures showing how much they missed each other.

    The pair were inseparable during their time at the Rio Olympics this summer, when they placed 1st for the 3 metre synchronised springboard event.

    Rumours about their Bromance were shrugged off by Jack’s girlfriend, Jessica.

    She said,

     “People are always assuming they are a couple because they spend so much time together.

    “They are just the best of friends. They have very similar personalities and they love watching The Mighty Boosh and things like that.”

    Do you know what a PILF is? NSFW

    Up until today we were completely unaware of what a PILF was, but thanks to these rather naked and well, frankly, delicious Orthodox Priests we are now completely on board with the PLIF phenomenon.

    oc2017-4

     

     

    So here’s some gay-friendly Orthodox Priests that are dissatisfied and want to protest Church hypocrisy – so they’ve released a rather naughty calendar for 2017.

    So have you guessed what PILF stands for yet? It’s Priests I Like To f**K!

    Proceeds from the calender’s sale will go to supporting disadvantaged children living with HIV across Eastern Europe.

    A statement from the priests read,

    “Through the #OC2017 charity wall calendar, we wish to raise awareness of homophobia inside the Church. Years after its creation, the OC Art Project is still the only organised global effort against homophobia in the Orthodox region.”

    Chatty Man, Alan Carr, is off the market after he announced his engagement to his boyfriend, Paul Drayton.

    TV favourite Alan Carr, 40, has revealed that is getting married to the love of his life, actor Paul Drayton. The big question was actually popped when they were on holiday in Indonesia last week. Despite the country’s poor LGBT rights record of late, the Lombok hotel’s management were in on the proposal.

    The engagement ring was hidden in Alan’s dessert, and when he found the ring the hotel’s organist started playing Elton John’s “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and the hotel’s staff starting singing.

    He said that at first he thought he had broken a filling after biting into the dessert, but discovered that it was actually a ring.

    Alan Carr revealed to The Sun,

    “Then the chef, all the staff came out and the manager and sang “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”, but they didn’t know the next lyric, so they just sang, ‘Can you feel the love tonight? Can you feel the love tonight?’

    Congrats Alan!

    Speaking to the Loose Women panel earlier today, Craig Revel Horwood said he wouldn’t put himself “out of any department” when they asked if he would date a women after splitting with his partner, Damon Scott back in May.

    The outspoken dance judge, who’s currently starring in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, said that he was loving the single life and joked with the panel that the next person he’d like to date would be “honest and doesn’t sell stories on you”.

    He thought that he an Janet Street-Porter would make a great couple.

    He also revealed that his former partner, Mr Scott refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which Craig apparently gets people to sign before they get too close.

    He said,

    “He didn’t want to, I guess that is sort of lacking trust in the relationship. It is hard.”
