Speaking on Good Morning Britain today, he said: “I came out as bisexual and now I have said it on TV so it must be real.
“I was full of shame. It has lifted a huge weight and nearly everyone has been brilliant and it’s not a big thing, it’s not like I am now going to go around and start queening up and going out with loads of guys and stuff.
“That’s not what it is about, it’s about saying I have done this stuff in the past that I have had a lot of shame about and I don’t need to be ashamed about it.
“I am in a great place. My life has changed.”

Discussing what led to him coming out, he said: “I had a really horrible year, I was involved in a really nasty car crash that messed me up so I was seeing a therapist and as we were talking about that we kind of latched onto some abuse that I had as a young man.
“We worked out why I used to take drugs and it turns out that probably a lot of the anxiety, the depression and the drug taking was around not being true to who I am so I came out. And everyone went ‘oh well, who cares?’”
Iain announced he had split from Helena – the mum of his two sons – last year following his stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
The TalkRadio host - who previously battled drug addiction - admitted at the time that the news had made him feel close to the edge and he had been “obsessing about drugs”.
