George Shelley Comes Out But Calls Gay, Bi Label “Old Fashioned”


Jungle King and Union J singer Has Come Out, but refuses to label himself as gay or bisexual.

Taking to his YouTube channel Union J singer George Shelley has addressed speculation about his sexuality saying that he has had girlfriends and boyfriends and that labelling sexuality was “old fashioned”.

22-year-old Shelley is most notable for his appearance in the ninth series of the X Factor as part of the boyband Union J and then his appearance in the latest series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, where he came runner up to Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison.

In his video the singer said that he didn’t want to put a label on his sexuality, but he no longer wanted to live scared.

The smiley star said,

โ€œIโ€™ve been on a personal journey and I want you to be part of that journey from now on. I want to start 2016 with a clean slate. I donโ€™t feel that I should hide anything. I went into the jungle and it gave me a lot of time to reflect on whatโ€™s important to me โ€“ and itโ€™s important to me that I can be myself and I donโ€™t feel I should hide on me.

โ€œIโ€™ve been reading a lot of speculation online as to whether Iโ€™m, straight, gay or bi. Itโ€™s all these labels and itโ€™s a little bit old-fashioned and this is why Iโ€™m not going to label it myself.”

He went on to clarify,

โ€œIโ€™ve had girlfriends that Iโ€™ve loved, in amazing periods of my life, but Iโ€™ve also had boyfriends.โ€

โ€œI want you to know that whether I decide to be with a girl next or be with a guy next itโ€™s because I love them.

George is not the only member of Union J to have come out. Jaymi Hensley came out in 2009.
