In addition to being mixed doubles partners in curling, Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds are childhood friends.

He told the BBC: "The curling community has always been very supportive. I've never had any issues with anyone.

"It didn't matter that I was maybe a wee bit different to the other guys I was playing with and against. We're all just athletes at the end of the day trying to compete for the same thing, regardless of sexuality and who we want to spend our lives with."

Dodds worked as an office assistant before becoming a full-time curler and currently plays second on Eve Muirhead's team.

The Edinburgh curler Dodds has secured three world curling championship medals, including two golds and a silver.
